Blackburn was a distinguished British botanist who discovered that "plants as well as animals have in their cells bits of living matter known as the sex chromosomes" (Science News Letter, 1926). From 1918-1958, she was a member of the Botany Department at Armstrong College (later called King's College), Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Blackburn coauthored frequently with botanist J.W. Heslop-Harrison.
