Trail Blazers profiles women who travelled, explored and worked beyond the boundaries conventionally set for them in their own societies. Through illustrated biographical sketches, Antonia Fraser follows journeys across seas, deserts, mountains and unfamiliar cultures, placing individual adventures beside the prejudices and practical obstacles the travellers had to overcome. The book emphasises both the excitement of exploration and the persistence required for women to claim authority as observers, writers and expedition leaders.
