Charlotte Kipling was born on 7 June 1919 in Toxteth Park, Liverpool, Lancashire, England.
She collected data on the changes in the char, pike, and perch populations in the Windermere lake.
[2] She studied at Newnham during a period where women were allowed to attend classes, but were not made full members of the university or granted degrees.
[3] There is evidence found in International Women in Science: A Biographical Dictionary to 1950, that would imply Kipling received an M.A.
[4] Most of this research was used within the "Windermere Perch and Pike Project" (Le Cren 2001),[5] which long-term data collected on the Windermere lake by Kipling and her colleagues was used to analyse the ways the different fish populations reacted to their changing environment, as well as the effects of overfishing.
[2] The long term data conducted by Kipling was essential to this project and is cited extensively throughout.
Most of her publications are similar long-term studies of freshwater fish populations within the Windermere lake (see below).
