PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
An inspiring account of seven terrific women and their adventures in heretofore unexplored lands. A good story-teller, Middleton recounts the 19th-century tales of Isabella Bird Bishop, Marianne North, Fanny Bullock Workman, Annie Taylor, May French Sheldon, Kate Marsden and Mary Kingsley. Originally published in 1965, the book sparked academic interest in the study of mostly well-to-do British and American women travelers of the period.
