Seduction, jungle fever, shipwreck and murder are not words usually associated with the prim and proper ladies of the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Yet these experiences figure prominently in the stories of hundreds of women who abandoned their constrained lives to travel and found themselves right in the thick of danger.
This book is a time traveler's delight, a look back at women who knew their place was truly not in the home.
