Dame Linda Jane Holloway DNZM (née Brown, born 10 June 1940) is a Scottish-born[2] New Zealand anatomical pathologist academic, and was a full professor at the University of Otago.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Holloway was born in Loanhead, Midlothian, Scotland, on 10 June 1940.[4] She was raised in that country, and met her husband, New Zealand forester John Stevenson Holloway, the son of John Thorpe Holloway, while he was a student at the University of Aberdeen.[5][1] She moved to New Zealand in 1970, becoming a naturalised New Zealander in 1978.[4][5]

Academic career

[edit]

After emigrating, Holloway initially worked in provincial New Zealand, before moving to the University of Otago and Dunedin Hospital in 1975.[5] She held numerous administrative and advisory roles, including medical advisor to the Cartwright Inquiry and being a long-serving member of the Abortion Supervisory Committee.[6][7][8][9][10][11] Holloway became a full professor at Otago in 1994, and following her retirement in 2006 was conferred the title of professor emeritus.[12]

In the 1997 Queen's Birthday Honours, Holloway was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to medicine.[13] She was elevated to Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2005 Queen’s Birthday Honours,[14] and she accepted redesignation as a Dame Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit following the restoration of titular honours by the New Zealand government in 2009.[15]

Personal life

[edit]

Holloway's husband, John, was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to forestry and conservation, in the 1998 Queen's Birthday Honours.[16] He died in Dunedin on 1 January 1999.[1] She is the mother of John Holloway.[17]
