Marsden Kate (w3169)
- Description: Kate Marsden was a British nurse and missionary, best known for her extraordinary journey to Siberia at the end of the nineteenth century. Motivated by philanthropic zeal, she set out to reach the leper colonies of Yakutia. In 1891 she departed from Moscow and travelled roughly 11,200 km (7,000 miles) by horse, sledge, and on foot, facing extreme cold and isolation. She established a leper hospital and gathered first-hand accounts of the disease, later publishing a travel narrative that gained wide attention in Europe
