(Jane) Elizabeth Chadwick, also known as Lisette Chadwick (1869–1940) was an Irish missionary and educator in Uganda and Kenya.

Life

Elizabeth Chadwick was the daughter of George Chadwick, a Church of Ireland clergyman who later became Bishop of Derry and Raphoe.

Chadwick became a Church Missionary Society missionary, travelling overland with other women missionaries in 1895 from Table Bay, South Africa to Kibwezi, Uganda.[1] As a missionary stationed in Namirembe, Chadwick established the first girls' school in Uganda. From 1916 to 1925 she was a missionary in Butere, Kenya, where she established Butere Girls High School. Some of Chadwick's manuscript memories of her early students have been anthologized.[2]

Her papers are held by the University of Birmingham.[1]
