New page

[[Dorothea Ann Fairbridge]] (1862–1931) was an authoress, cultural activist and influential member of the Cape Town society in the first quarter of the 20th century.

Born in Cape Town, the daughter of a distinguished lawyer, scholar and Cape Town parliamentarian, she was educated in London and travelled widely.

She was the co-founder of the Guild of Loyal Women during the Boer War, and supported the founding of the Union of South Africa.

Greatly interested in the cultural heritage of Cape Town and the British Empire, she became a member of [[The Van Riebeeck Society]].

Her writings also served this purpose and include historical fiction and non-fiction publications about early Cape Town. Among these are ''That Which Hath Been'' (1910) , ''Piet of Italy'' (1913), ''The Torch Bearer'' (1915), ''History of South Africa'' (1917) , ''Historic Houses of South Africa'' (1922), ''Along Cape Roads'' (1928), ''The Pilgrim's Way in South Africa'' (1928) , and ''Historic Farms of South Africa'' (1932).

More importantly for studies of early theatre and performance in South Africa, are two volumes she edited, namely [[Lady Anne Barnard]]'s ''Cape Diaries'' (1924) and [[Lady Duff Gordon]]'s ''Letters from the Cape'' (1927), which both contain much information on cultural activities in Cape Town.
