(???? – )
Dorothy 'Dot' Ratigan (née Jacobs), was a London fan active in the 1950s and 1960s. She published the apazine Satan's Child for OMPA and contributed to Femizine. She was on the concom of the 1952 London SF Con, which was her first convention.
Dorothy married fellow fan Jim Ratigan around 1952–3.
Her fan activity diminished in the 1960s. She is known to have attended the 1960 London Eastercon and the Ratigans did '[show] up for a while' on the Sunday of the RePetercon (per Bob Shaw's report in Hyphen #36) but they do not appear on the membership list.
A note on the surname: contemporary fan publications used both 'Ratigan' and Rattigan'. Rob Hansen theorises that the former is correct as this is the name used on Satan's Child and presumably Dorothy typed this herself and knew how to spell her own name. For further discussion on name variants, see the entry on Jim Ratigan.
