Seven true stories of remarkable travel and adventure by intrepid women, compiled, and written by Julia Keay.

Travellers and explorers they were, the seven Victorian women profiled here possessed nothing in common. One was a society hostess, another what she termed ‘The Writer’, yest another was an archaeologist with a penchant for haute couture. Anna Leonowen’s experiences in Siam were the basis for the musical The King and I, Alexandra David-Neel became a Buddhist lama, Daisy Bates devoted her life to the Aborigines, Kate Marsden was driven by a burning need to save lepers in Siberia. Between them, they covered the world, journeying in Russia, the Middle East, India, Australia and Central Asia.
