Women of the Four Winds

by Elizabeth Fagg Olds
RM34.00 MYR
Women of the Four Winds
Women of the Four Winds

Trailblazing women defy odds in adventurous pursuits.

If you're someone who finds inspiration in the tenacity and courage of trailblazers, "Women of the Four Winds" is a compelling choice. It sheds light on the lives of four remarkable women who shattered conventional expectations to lead extraordinary explorations and adventures. Their stories are not just about scaling physical heights but also about the resilience and spirit required to overcome societal limitations and personal challenges.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Here are the stories of Annie Smith Peck, the most famous woman mountaineer of her time, who climbed the highest peak in Peru when she was sixty; of Delia J. Akeley, the first woman to lead a museum expedition, who traveled across Africa collecting big-game specimens and lived with Pygmy tribes; of Marguerite Harrison, an American spy arrested and sent to the infamous Lubianka prison in Russia, who later filmed the pilgrimage of a nomadic Persian tribe; and of Louise Arner Boyd, who conceived, financed, and led seven scientific explorations to the icebound coast of Greenland.
