The best travel writing by women.From Constantinople to Crimea; from Antarctica to the Andes. Whether escaping constricted societies back home or propelled by a desire for independence, footloose females have ventured to the four corners of the earth and recorded their exploits for posterity.For too long their triumphs have been overshadowed by those of their male counterparts, whose honourable failures make bigger news. Throughout history adventurous women have made epic, record-breaking journeys under perilous circumstances.
