She published a series of papers in 1938 which constitutes one of the earliest detailed studies of daily camp activities and food preparation. Her PhD, later published as Aboriginal women, sacred and profane (1939), was notable in presenting Aboriginal women as integral to Aboriginal culture, in contrast to the usual perception of the time. Later work in the Sepik district of New Guinea was cut short by the hostilities of war. Between 1945 and 1963 she spent extended periods in West Africa, investigating the causes of malnutrition and working to remove straying cattle that destroyed the women's farms. Kaberry played a central role in the affairs of the Royal Anthropological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, serving as Vice-President from 1965 to 1968. 1913 1913 Life event - Moved to New Zealand with her family 1914 1914 Life event - Moved to Australia with her family 1933 1933 Education - Bachelor of Arts (BA), University of Sydney 1935 1935 Education - Master of Arts (MA), University of Sydney 1938 1938 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), London School of Economics 1941 1943 Career position - Sterling and Carnegie Fellowships, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, U.S.A. 1943 1944 Career position - Research Associate, Royal Institute of International Affairs 1950 1977 Career position - Reader in Anthropology, University College, London 1951 1963 Career position - Member of Council, Royal Anthropological Society of Great Britain and Ireland 1957 1957 Award - Rivers Medal, Royal Anthropological Society of Great Britain and Ireland 1959 1959 Award - Wellcome Medal (jointly), Royal Anthropological Society of Great Britain and Ireland 1965 1968 Career position - Vice-President, Royal Anthropological Society of Great Britain and Ireland 1977 1977 Life event - Retired
