One for the Road: Virago Book of Women Travellers

"It's a lovely collection of stories by and about some of the greatest female explorers: Gertrude Bell, Freya Stark, Edith Wharton, Leila Philip, Emily Carr and Mary Wollstonecraft (mother of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley.) The book claims to capture '300 years of wanderlust as women travel the world for pleasure and peril.'"
