The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Between 1893 and 1895 she travelled widely in regions of present-day Sierra Leone, Angola, Gabon, and Cameroon, often journeying alone in areas rarely visited by Europeans.
- During these expeditions she collected zoological specimens for the British Museum and documented local religious practices, social customs, and political systems.
- Kingsley published two widely-read books, Travels in West Africa and West African Studies, which combined travel narrative with ethnographic observation and commentary on British imperial policy.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Mary Kingsley article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
