  • Australian Dictionary of Biography online 10 June 2020: (Elizabeth Anstice (Bessie) Baker (1849–1914), intellectual and social activist, was born on 24 September 1849 at Magill, South Australia. She was educated at home and in 1860-63 in Paris. Back in Adelaide she joined in Church of England services with her family, played the organ and taught Sunday School classes. Independently wealthy after her father's death in 1872 she returned to Europe with her mother and sisters in 1876. In Paris in December 1877 Baker was received into the Catholic Church. Baker returned to Adelaide in 1879 and visited Europe again in 1881, by which time her mother had also become a Catholic. Thereafter she concentrated on a variety of socal causes; she initiated the migration to Adelaide in 1883 of English Dominican sisters. In 1884 she established the first Catholic hospital in Adelaide, in Strangways Terrace, and managed it and its successful school of nursing from 1884. In 1901 she returned to England, and worked for Catholic causes there. She died of pneumonia on 16 October 1914 at her home in Kensington, London.) http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/baker-elizabeth-anstice-bessie-12782
