Citat:For her, the Balkans were more than just an academic interest, she spent the best years of her life there. Usually alone except for local guides, she traveled on foot or horseback to meet the common people, eating their food, staying in their lodgings, and often sharing their diseases. She ran relief shelters for refugees during the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913. In the course of her career, she assembled a considerable collection of Balkan artifacts: her own sketches, paintings and photographs, plus native garments and embroideries. She also became a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute. She wrote seven books and numerous magazine articles about her experiences.
