Routledge, with her husband beside her in the beginning of the journey, became the first female historian/archaeologist to study and survey Polynesia. It took one year for the Mana, which was the name of their schooner, to reach the island.
Due to WWI, work on Easter Island was strained due to a brigade of German military men on the other side of the island. From where the Routledge’s were studying it was considered neutral ground,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but they were beginning to feel uneasy, and the Routledge‘s tried to get the Chilean government to protect them during this time. So,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to stave off invasion onto their part of the island, William sailed off in the Mana for Chile; and left Katherine on the island for a little over three months where she continued to make connections between the people and the land.
Shortly after the Second Boer War,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Routledge traveled to South Africa to help found resettlement areas for single working women coming from England. After returning to England, Katherine Pease married William Scoresby Routledge in 1906. From there, they went on to East Africa to live with the Kikuyu people in 1910.
College, Africa and Marriage
That same year, they published a book by the title With A Prehistoric People. Four years later, the Routledge’s made their voyage to Easter Island to figure out the mystery of the tufa rock heads.
During her time in Oxford, it was beginning to show that her mental health was not overly strong. She never outwardly complained,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it was found that she was plagued with voices. Not to let that dissuade her, Routledge was able to finish her degree.
Katherine (Pease) Routledge was born in Darlington, England to a family of well to do Quakers in 1866. She was the second oldest child to Gurney and Kate Pease. When her father died when she was six years old, Routledge was raised by her mother Kate, extended family members and Friends within the Quaker community she lived in.

Due to her belief that women were as able as men to accomplish anything they wanted, Routledge wished to do more than what her female family members were doing. She managed to begin her life quest in her mid twenties by achieving a degree in Modern History in 1895 from Oxford, and for a while taught at Darlington Training College.
