Join a remarkable group of women—founders and members of the Society of Woman Geographers—on breathtaking journeys conquering the world, with the weight of gender norms heavy on their shoulders. From mountain climbers to civil rights activists to geographers, these lesser-known explorers belong in every history book, and author Jayne Zenglein brings their incredible stories to life. It's an adventure from cover to cover, and a reminder that being a woman is an even more honorable title than being an explorer.
