It is apparent almost immediately the genuine admiration in Middleton's voice as she describes the lives and accomplishments of each "Victorian Lady Traveller." Each chapter is dedicated to a different prominent adventurer between 1830 and 1936, seven in all: Isabella Bird Bishop, Marianne North, Fanny Bullock Workman, May French Sheldon, Annie Taylor, Kate Marsden and the ever-famous Mary Kingsley. Middleton dedicates approximately 22 pages to each woman (including considerable chunks of quotations from each explorer's book or journal, if she has authored one). Granted, it's a short book so I wish Middleton had written more and quoted less. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
