Emily Keene

Emily Keene, Cherifa of Wazan or Ouzzane of Morocco (1849–1944) was a British expatriate, adventurer, and travel writer. She went to Morocco in 1871 as a governess and fell in love with the Sharif of Ouzzane, a powerful regional governor in Morocco. She married the Sharif of Ouzzane in 1873 even though there was strong opposition from both families. This was one of the first widely known cases of interracial marriage between a British expatriate and a Moroccan. She is known for bringing vaccination to the region.
