Ursula Bethell
Mary Ursula Bethell, usually known as Ursula Bethell (6 October 1874 – 15 January 1945) was a New Zealand social worker and poet. She was born in Horsell, Surrey, England on 6 October 1874, and arrived in New Zealand with her family in 1875.〔''The Feminist Companion to Literature in English'', ed. Virginia Blain, Patricia Clements and Isobel Grundy (London: Batsford, 1990), p. 90.〕
==Background and social work==
Bethell was the eldest daughter of the well-to-do sheep farmer Richard Bethell and his wife Isabel Anne, née Lillie. Her father had emigrated initially in the 1860s.〔 She was educated at Rangiora primary school, Christchurch Girls' High School, a school in Oxford and Swiss finishing schools, before returning to New Zealand in 1892 and devoting herself to charitable work. Bethell returned to Europe in 1895 to study painting in Geneva and music in Dresden.〔 Having enough private wealth to support herself, she took up social work in London with the Anglican organization Women Workers for God, or "Grey Ladies". By 1919 she was back permanently in New Zealand, in the Cashmere Hills near Christchurch, sharing a home, Rise Cottage in Westenra Terrace, with another New Zealander returnee, Effie Pollen.〔Vincent O'Sullivan: "Introduction". In: ''Collected Poems'' (1985). (Retrieved 8 April 2015. )〕
The theory that Bethell's relationship with Pollen was homosexual (which would have sat ill with her Anglicanism and her social aspirations in that period) was explored in some detail by the fellow poet Janet Charman, as a visiting scholar at the University of Auckland in 1997.〔Janet Charman: "My Ursula Bethell", ''Women's Studies Journal'' 14.2 (Spring 1998): 91–108. (Retrieved 8 April 2015. )〕
