Annie Royle Taylor
Annie Royle Taylor (7 October 1855 – 9 September 1922) was an English explorer and Evangelical missionary to China. She the first Western woman known to have visited Tibet. She attempted to reach the "forbidden" city of Lhasa in 1892-1893.
==Early life==
Christened as Hannah Royle Taylor, she was a daughter of John Taylor, one of the directors of the Black Ball Line of packet ships.〔http://www.oxforddnb.com/index/45/101045564?, accessed 8 May 2011〕 At the age of 13 she became converted to evangelical Christianity and determined to become a missionary, against her parent's wishes. After studying medicine and working in the slums of London and Brighton, she joined the China Inland Mission. (She was no relation to CIM founder Hudson Taylor.〔Tucker, Ruth A. "Unbecoming Ladies" ''Christian History'', 1 October 1996. http://www.ctlibrary.com/ch/1996/issue52/52h028.html, accessed 8 May 2011)〕) She sailed to Shanghai in 1884 and was posted to Lanzhou on the borders of Tibet in 1886. Recalled from Lanzhou in 1888 because of poor health, she recuperated in Australia and determined to evangelise within Tibet.
She described herself as a troublesome and unhealthy child.〔Taylor, Annie R. ''Pioneering in Tibet'' London: Morgan and Scott, 1898, p. v〕 She was a "lone wolf...so bad at harmonious relationships with colleagues that she would have to be returned to Britain or stretched to her own limits." Hudson Taylor wrote in 1890 that she was "having a very hard time of it."〔Tucker, "Unbecoming Ladies."〕 Her father's wealth permitted her to be independent, not needing financial support from CIM.〔Taylor, Annie R., p. vi,〕
