Whether escaping constricted societies or propelled by a desire for independence, footloose females have ventured to the four corners of the earth and recorded their exploits for posterity. But for too long their triumphs have been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts. In this collection of first-hand accounts, broadcaster, writer and traveller Mariella Frostrup puts female explorers back on the map. Her selection includes explorers from the 18th century to the present day, celebrating the amazing adventures of iconic heroines and lesser-known eccentrics.
