About the book

This glimpse at the early 1900s draws upon diaries and letters of 50 women explorers and vividly reconstructs their journeys. Dissatisfied with the cramped lives prescribed for them in the late Victorian era, they sought new horizons. From West Africa to Sarawak and the Rockies, their travels brought freedom and earned respect back home.
