Frances B. Lysnar

In 1913 the Royal Geographical Society ( RGS ), in the face of mounting pressure, decided to readmit women as Fellows ( FRGS ). Amongst the first group of successful nominees was Frances B. Lysnar, a New Zealand teacher, amateur artist and traveller. This paper briefly positions Lynsar in colonial New Zealand and examines how she engaged with ‘geography’, revisits her book New Zealand: The Dear Old Maori Land (1915), and assesses how she used ‘ FRGS ’ status to give added credential to her work raising funds for Pandita Ramabai's Mukti Mission in India
