Doris Rhodes

This article is about the contract bridge player Doris, Lady Rhodes. For the first woman to serve in the Louisiana State Legislature, see Doris Lindsey Holland Rhodes.

Doris Mary, Lady Rhodes (1898–1982) was Britain's leading female bridge player until the arrival of Rixi Markus. Rhodes was from London.[1] Born Doris Mary Adams, she married Sir John Phillips Rhodes, 2nd Bt. She was described in the June 1947 issue of the Contract Bridge Journal as "a deceptively dangerous opponent; a misleadingly modest partner".[2]
