  • "Real ladies do not travel--or so it was once said. This collection of women's travel writing dispels the notion by showing how there are few corners of the world that have not been visited by lady travellers. There are also few difficulties, physical or emotional, real or imagined, that have not been met and usually overcome by these same women. There is no such thing as a typical woman traveler, as this exhilarating anthology shows on a journey of its own through sixteen centuries of travel writing. You are taken as far afield as it is possible to go, in the company of some of the most extraordinary characters you are ever likely to meet.--From publisher description."

  • "Real ladies do not travel - or so it was once said. This collection of women's travel writing dispels the notion by showing how there are few corners of the world that have not been visited by women travellers. There are also few difficulties, physical or emotional, real or imagined, that have not been met and usually overcome by these same women. Jane Robinson's first book,Wayward Women, was a guide to women travellers and their writing, and having read over a thousand of their books she is uniquely qualified to compile this anthology. Life is never dull for her intrepid women, whether diving to the bed of the Timor Sea or reaching the summit of Annapurna. From an encounter with a snake in the Amazon jungle to shipwreck and kidnap on the Barbary Coast, there are tales of adventure, derring-do, and great danger. There are also moving accounts of unimaginable hardship, including caring for a family in an ammunition cart during the siege of Delhi and a journey through Tibet that leaves its author childless and widowed.; There is no such thing as a typical woman traveller-and there never has been-as this exhilarating anthology shows on a journey of its own through sixteen centuries of travel writing, aboard almost anything from a Bugatti to a Bath chair. You are taken as far afield as it is possible to go, in the company of some of the most extraordinary characters you are ever likely to meet."
