While there she encountered a range of people, including feminists and anticolonial nationalists, and witnessed first hand local social and political conditions. Through a close reading of the rich archival material, this article shows how Rischbieth's experiences and interactions as a traveller – filtered through her positioning as a white Australian feminist and theosophist – reinforced but also added depth to her views on interracial and intercultural cooperation. It pivots away from the more-studied Pacific to further explore how differences of race, culture, religion, and experience factored in this interwar feminist's vision for a new world, highlighting how travel both gave expression to and influenced her ever-developing internationalism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Australian Historical Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
