Eugenie Goldstern

Austrian geographer (1884–1942)

Eugenie Goldstern is remembered for reaching places that the written record had not yet described.

The record lists Eugenie Goldstern as Austrian geographer (1884–1942).

Eugenie Goldstern was born at Odesa in 1884. Her recorded nationality is Austria.

Nineteenth-century exploration turned inland - Africa, Asia and Australia - and was entangled from the start with empire, missions and the geographical societies that funded it.

She is recorded as geographer, anthropologist and ethnologist.

What an expedition is remembered for is rarely what it set out to do.

Eugenie Goldstern died in 1942, aged 58. The routes and charts outlived the journey, which is how exploration is actually measured.
