- catalog abstract "Inspiring, sometimes tragic, often humorous tales of adventurous women from the 18th century to the 21st century. Selected from National Geographic's archives, this colorful group portrait pairs female adventurers of the past with their contemporary counterparts in a "then and now" approach. You'll meet Arctic explorers and aviators, women who defied Victorian convention to venture alone among the headhunters of Borneo or to see firsthand the hidden corners of Africa, India, and Japan, and record-breaking moments by latter-day legends. Whether kayaking remote Tibetan rivers or bottle-feeding baby orangutans, bicycling to India or battling icebergs off the coast of Greenland, each woman profiled here demonstrates her unswerving devotion to a dream.--From publisher description.".
