‘How good that the stories of these adventurous and wonderful women who made extraordinary journeys around the world have now come to light.'' – Dame Joanna Lumley.
Ferdinand Magellan, Francis Drake, Captain Cook – the men who went round the world are household names.
But what about the women?
The Women Who Went Round the World sets the record straight, telling the stories of pioneering women and their extraordinary journeys around the globe.
From sleeping with freshly cut heads in Sarawak to travelling through Siberia in the luggage cart of a rickety train, from welcoming an Aboriginal Australian into an eighteenth-century London home to being chased by a jeering mob in rural China, these are the tales of the remarkable women who’ve been missing from the history books … until now.
