Dalton’s father, a merchant and freemason, died when she was young. Despite reduced finances, Dalton attended the Royal Masonic School for Girls in London. As a child, Dalton planned to study general medicine. However, after winning a scholarship, she instead attended the London Foot Hospital of Chiropody, in London. In 1936, she earned a post-secondary degree in chiropody, also called podiatry or the study of legs and feet. For the next ten years Dalton practiced chiropody and published her first book Essentials of Chiropody for Students in 1938."

"In 1939, Dalton married and had a son with Wilfred Thompson, who was killed three years later while serving in the Royal Air Force during World War II. Following the death of her husband, Dalton began studying medicine at the Royal Free Hospital in London in 1943. One year later she married Thomas Ernest Dalton, a Unitarian Minister, and together they had three children, two daughters and a son."

“Dr. Dalton concluded that the best practice for treating PPD is to prevent it from occurring in the first place. She suggested a treatment using progesterone (in injectable or suppository form) beginning at the completion of labor..” “Dr. Dalton pointed out that the main features of PPD–tiredness, irritability, and depression–also characterize PMS. Both conditions also occur during a time of hormonal decline – prior to menses and following labor and delivery.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanatierno (talk • contribs) 07:27, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
