Quarto; hardcover, with silver-gilt spine titles; 206pp., with many monochrome illustrations. Mild wear; slightly rolled; spine extremities softened; mild spotting to the text block edges; previous owners' ink stamp to the flyleaf. Price-clipped dustwrapper is rubbed and edgeworn; sunning along the spine panel; now professionally protected by superior non-adhesive polypropylene film. Very good. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. A contemporary woman's account of scores of women in other centuries to whom the call of adventure was irresistible. It is about the urge in women to travel and explore, and risk their lives in foreign parts. In pursuit of their own goals they happily ignored conventions: for all of them 'abroad' was where they existed more fully. Aitken allows the women to speak for themselves, quoting from their letters, diaries or memoirs. The feminine spirit is seen in this book at its most engaging: perceptive, amusing, and often disarmingly self-deprecating.
