Maria Czaplicka

Maria Antonina Czaplicka (25 October 1884 – 27 May 1921), also referred to as Marya Antonina Czaplicka and Marie Antoinette Czaplicka, was a Polish cultural anthropologist who is best known for her ethnography of Siberian shamanism. Czaplicka's research survives in three major works: her studies in ''Aboriginal Siberia'' (1914); a travelogue published as ''My Siberian Year'' (1916); and a set of lectures published as ''The Turks of Central Asia'' (1918). Curzon Press republished all three volumes, plus a fourth volume of articles and letters, in 1999. Provided by Wikipedia
