Fanny Fryer
No full textFanny was born Fanny Matthews, on 24 May 1861 in Glasgow, Scotland, of English parents. She emigrated with her parents and siblings to Oamaru, New Zealand in 1879; Fanny later emigrated to Australia in early 1890 in order to marry Thomas Fryer. Fanny was 33 when she came to the Northern Territory on 20 January 1890 with her husband Thomas, who worked as a blacksmith with the railway. They lived at the 2 1/2 mile railway camp. All six of their children were born in Darwin: John Richard Fryer on 27 May 1891; Constance Agnes Fryer on 24 March 1896; Ethel May Fryer on 8 June 1899; Frederick Darwin Fryer on 19 June 1901; Alice Irene Fryer on 14 July 1903 and George Edward Fryer on 14 June 1905. Fanny became one of the 82 Territory women who enrolled to vote after the franchise was granted to South Australian and Territory women in 1894. On the electoral roll she is registered as married at Palmerston. Her second child died of meningitis in 1900. The family left Darwin on 10 December 1907 and moved to Prospect, South Australia, the move prompted by their eldest son contracting Malaria. Fanny died there on 15 July 1913 aged 52.Pionee
Fanny Copeland and the geographical imagination
Full text linkRaised in Scotland, married and divorced in the English south, an adopted Slovene, Fanny Copeland (1872 – 1970) occupied the intersection of a number of complex spatial and temporal conjunctures. A Slavophile, she played a part in the formation of what subsequently became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia that emerged from the First World War. Living in Ljubljana, she facilitated the first ‘foreign visit’ (in 1932) of the newly formed Le Play Society (a precursor of the Institute of British Geographers) and guided its studies of Solčava (a then ‘remote’ Alpine valley system) which, led by Dudley Stamp and commended by Halford Mackinder, were subsequently hailed as a model for regional studies elsewhere. Arrested by the Gestapo and interned in Italy during the Second World War, she eventually returned to a socialist Yugoslavia, a celebrated figure. An accomplished musician, linguist, and mountaineer, she became an authority on (and populist for) the Julian Alps and was instrumental in the establishment of the Triglav National Park. Copeland’s role as participant observer (and protagonist) enriches our understanding of the particularities of her time and place and illuminates some inter-war relationships within G/geography, inside and outside the academy, suggesting their relative autonomy in the production of geographical knowledge
