Märksõnad:
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 whove been missing from the history books until now.

Arvustused

This collection of groundbreaking women is fantastically entertaining. * All About History * Sally Smith's The Women Who Went Round the World is a fast-paced read from the very start to the finish line. She is to be commended for her selection of distinctive stories which illustrate the various means by which these intrepid women made this journey whether on bicycle or in by sea, braving danger from rogue waves or from strangers. But, furthermore, the book considers the implication of these women's achievements, poignantly expressed in the image of the lone woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova, who contemplates the future of mankind as she views the Earth through her window. -- Emelyne Godfrey, author of Mrs Pankhurst's Bodyguard
