Kate Marsden
Kate Marsden (13 May 1859 – 26 May 1931) was a British missionary, explorer, writer and nursing heroine. Supported by Queen Victoria and Empress Maria Fedorovna she investigated the care of leprosy. She set out on a journey from Moscow to Siberia to find a cure, creating a leper treatment centre in Siberia. She returned to England and inspired Bexhill Museum, but she was obliged to retire as a trustee. Marsden was dogged after her journey by homophobia, her finances and her motives for the achievements she had made. Her accusers almost succeeded in making her sexuality the basis for an "Oscar Wilde"-type trial. She was elected a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. She has a large diamond named after her and is still remembered in Siberia, where a large memorial statue was erected at Sosnovka village in 2014.〔http://siberiantimes.com/other/others/features/siberia-salutes-british-nurse-and-adventurer-who-set-up-a-leper-colony-in-remote-yakutian-village/〕
==Early life==
Marsden was born in Edmonton in London in 1859 to solicitor J.D. Marsden and Sophie Matilda Wellsted and she was named Kate. She became a nurse when she was 16 and went to work in a London hospital. She later became a matron at Wellington Hospital.
She was sent from Tottenham to Bulgaria with others to nurse Russian soldiers wounded in Russia's war with Turkey in 1877. Working at the Red Cross mission her selflessness and devotion brought her an award from Empress Maria Fedorovna. Near Sistov she reportedly met her first two lepers and they persuaded her that this was her mission.
