( Details ) Canadian Author | ISBN: 1550549383 Published: November 2002 | Published by Greystone Books From the Publisher A beautifully illustrated account of the intrepid women who tore down the boundaries of countries around the globe, leaving as their legacy a world wide open for today’s women travellers. Barbara Hodgson traces three hundred years of world travel by both the celebrated and the unknown women who endured exotic diseases, scorching heat, bed bugs, destructive thunderstorms, plagues of scorpions and many other life-threatening situations—all in the name of adventure. From Lady Ann Fanshawe, who disguised herself as a cabin boy to confront a band of Spanish pirates, to Isabella Bird, who traversed the muddy trails of Japan by horseback despite severe back pain, the women profiled in these pages sacrificed personal comfort and respectability to pursue exotic experiences that had traditionally been open only to men. Filled with fascinating portraits, historical maps and intricate drawings, No Place for a Lady is at once a beautifully illustrated exploration of early travel and a spirited celebration of the women who dared to redefine the proper place for a lady.
