Biography

Anne Mackenzie (died 1877) was a 19th-century British writer, editor for thirty one years of the missionary magazine The Net Cast in Many Waters: Sketches from the Life of Missionaries, published in London from 1866 to 1896. Mackenzie was the unmarried sister of Charles Frederick Mackenzie (1825–1862), Anglican priest and bishop of British Central Africa.
She spent some time teaching at mission schools in South Africa before joining the Zambesi Mission of the Universities' Mission to Central Africa, which was led by her brother. After his death she returned to England, where she edited the monthly magazine The Net Cast in Many Waters. In memory of her brother, this had a special interest in missions in Zululand, but also covered other Anglican missions, especially those run by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.
She was the author of a Life of Henrietta Robertson, wife of the chaplain of the garrison of Fort-Etchowe, and other works.
