About this artwork
Lady Florence Dixie (née Douglas), was a Scottish traveller, war correspondent, writer and feminist. She wrote an account of travelling ‘Across Patagonia’, ‘Land of Misfortune’ covering the Zulu Wars, and many books which deal with feminist themes.
In 1890, Dixie published a utopian novel, Gloriana, in which she rails against a patriarchal society “Nature has unmistakably given to woman a greater brain power... Yet man deliberately sets himself to… stunt that...laying down the law that woman’s education shall be on a lower level... this procedure is arbitrary and cruel....It has been the means of sending to their graves unknown, unknelled, and unnamed, thousands of women whose high intellects have been wasted, and whose powers for good have been paralysed and undeveloped.”
A keen sports woman throughout her life, Dixie became President of the British Ladies’ Football Club in 1895.
