" A compelling chronicle of the great women of exploration."
-- Gilbert Grosvenor, Chairman, National Geographic Society
History has lionized the world's great male explorers: Lawrence of
Arabia, Dr. David Livingstone, Samuel Johnson, Richard Burton and
Wilfred Thesiger are legends. But this wonderful book, Women of
Discovery, shows us the other side of adventure. It introduces us
to the great female explorers, whose take on the world is every bit
as exhilarating as that of their male colleagues.
-- From the Foreword by Christiane Amanpour
