The past quarter-century has seen a number of biographies and
anthologies on women travelers but to date there has been little
comprehensive reference work done on the travellers themselves.
Some of the women were eccentric, many very adventurous, some were
in search of a different world. British women make up the largest
portion of the book's focus--these particular adventurers being
backed in many cases by family money, scientific inquiry, and the
ready availability of the British seafaring tradition. Entries
feature biographical information including the woman's family
background, her educational history, and a brief summary of her
world travels, with in many cases evocative extracts from their
writings (many are literary gems).
