Christina Jefferson (c.1891-1974)
"Miss Christina Jefferson was born in Dunedin, New Zealand, and educated at a small rural school in the Leith Valley nearby. Her youthful pleasure in exploring the varied countryside near her home and school later emerged in the enthusiasm with which she sought out and studied the tree-carvings of the Chatham Islands. In her retirement, at a stage when most women are content to follow a quieter life, this pursuit has engrossed the time and energy of several years. That some of these years have been concurrent with her study for a degree in anthropology, is further tribute to her purposefulness and devotion to her subject."
