She was awarded the Grande Médaille de Vermeil by the French Geographical Society for her 1921 work Chinese Mettle.[1] BiographyKemp was a Baptist from a wealthy industrialist family, and one of the first students at Somerville College, Oxford. She continued her studies at the Slade School of Fine Art. She travelled in China, Korea, India, central Asia and the Amazon, sketching, painting and writing, with a focus on the education and welfare of women, and their role in religion. Kemp was friendly with the theologian Marcus Dods, the explorer Francis Younghusband and Albert Schweitzer. She donated the Somerville College Chapel as a "house of prayer for all people" (that is, of all religions). During her travels Kemp developed a strong interest in non-Christian religions. She wished for Somerville College Chapel to be a place where students of all religions could pray. For this reason she encouraged delegates of the 1937 World Congress of Faiths staying in Oxford to use the chapel for their devotions.[2] Bibliography
