What drew Annie Taylor and Alexandra David-Neal to Tibet, when it was still cut off from the world and so hostile to foreigners, and particularly female ones, that they had to wear male Tibetan dress for protection? What did Hester Stanhope and Gertrude Bell, two such different women, find so compelling about the desert life of the East? What possessed Mary, Duchess of Bedford, to take up flying at the age of 60 - or Naomi James to sail around the world, or Arlene Blum to climb Annapurna? These, and other, accounts of women travellers experiences around the world are included in this book.

Blessings of a Good Thick Skirt
An inspiring read. I first read it when I was preparing to travel around the world alone after selling my house and belongings. This book helped me realise that so many intrepid historical women had powerfully taken their own personal and societal risks and thrived in the pursuit of living fully. The book doesn't gloss over difficulties and challenges. It leads you to discover the depths of experience, observation and the triumphs of real people. There are superb memorable quotes throughout. They and the many stories of true exploits are very affirming for us modern adventurer's. This has remained one of my favourite books about the gritty and soaring spirit of travel and works well to strengthen and enhance confidence ahead of striking out alone in the world as a capable independent woman. The separate sections work well to highlight the wisdom and insight of adventurous women across many varied methods of travel, many being unrecognised pioneers or explorers in their chosen field - including a namesake Hubbard of the Klondike goldrush.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
