Intrepid Traveller

Isabel Fry was an extremely well travelled woman, particularly for a woman of her time.

As a teenager she travelled widely with her family. As an adult she continued these travels, most notably visiting Turkey, France, and Belgium.

She most frequently travelled to Turkey, having made strong connections in the country and developing a keen interest in the state of the education of Turkish women.

In this section you will find a series of extracts from her personal diaries documenting these travels.
