Celebrating the bicentenary
of the birth of Dr David Livingstone

Looking for Mrs Livingstone

Mary Livingstone accompanied her husband on several of his earliest expeditions in Southern Africa. In fact, as the daughter of the then famous and powerful Robert Moffat, it was Mary and not David Livingstone many of the local Chiefs wanted to meet. Mary’s story is not well known today and yet hers too is a story of courage and hardship.

Journalist Julie Davidson, author of the recent biography of Mary tells of her fascinating quest, Looking for Mrs Livingstone.
