Sample Book Insights:
#1 Blair was fond of the Explorers Club’s ban on women members. She thought that women were falling into the same trap as men when they announced that they were the first white woman to do something. She knew there was a fine line between showing strength when danger loomed ahead and completely disregarding that danger.
#2 Mickie was not afraid of taking risks, as she knew she could overcome any danger. She was collecting specimens for the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and Sciences, and she collected memories of the cruelty of the Congo, which she tried to prevent along the way.
#3 Osa Johnson was an anomaly. She was an independent, feisty, quick-tempered woman. But she was also tiny, adorable, and exuberant. Her energy of purpose could brush aside obstacles entailing physical danger or hardship.
#4 Osa was captured by the Malekulans, and she was brought to their leader, Nagapate. She was terrified of being eaten, but the tribe leader seemed to be fascinated by her white skin.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Blair was fond of the Explorers Club’s ban on women members. She thought that women were falling into the same trap as men when they announced that they were the first white woman to do something. She knew there was a fine line between showing strength when danger loomed ahead and completely disregarding that danger.

#2

Mickie was not afraid of taking risks, as she knew she could overcome any danger. She was collecting specimens for the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and Sciences, and she collected memories of the cruelty of the Congo, which she tried to prevent along the way.

#3

Osa Johnson was an anomaly. She was an independent, feisty, quick-tempered woman. But she was also tiny, adorable, and exuberant. Her energy of purpose could brush aside obstacles entailing physical danger or hardship.

#4

Osa was captured by the Malekulans, and she was brought to their leader, Nagapate. She was terrified of being eaten, but the tribe leader seemed to be fascinated by her white skin.

#5

The story of Osa Johnson, who was supposedly saved by a tribe in the jungle, is probably not true. Blair had never encountered cannibals, but she had dined with headhunters. She considered Grace Thompson Seton, who traveled to Egypt in 1922 to report on the Egyptian women’s fight for equality.

#6

Grace used her hypnotic powers to get Gameel to take her back to their camp. She had studied hypnotism for several years, and she believed in its mysterious powers.

#7

Women explorers tended to downplay the dangers of the jungle in interviews with reporters. In order to save all of their lives, Margaret had taken advantage of the villagers’ perception that she was superior because she was white.

#8

During World War I, Marguerite tried to report on the war from Europe as a war correspondent, but the Sun refused because she was a widow with a teenaged son. The Army hired her, and she was sent to Russia to spy undercover as a journalist for the Sun.

#9

The author decided to find out what would happen if these courageous women got together and shared their stories. She organized a meeting in the United States.

#10

In 1925, Blair had tea with Marguerite Harrison, who was developing a new documentary style. They discussed the media’s focus on women’s appearances rather than their achievements, the Explorers Club’s exclusion of women, and the need for an organization to unite women explorers.

#11

Travelogues had become synonymous with the trivial, the dull, and the cheap. Blair believed that the travel writer should use the same creativity and techniques as historians and biographers.

#12

explorers Blair and Marguerite were frustrated with the media’s treatment of female explorers. They were asked about feminine topics like clothing, makeup, and marriage, while a male film producer was asked about his exploits in the clouds.

#13

Women explorers faced a lot of obstacles when trying to get funding for their expeditions. They were often excluded from organizations because they were considered aberrations from the norm.

#14

The Explorers Club was founded by women explorers to provide a medium of contact between geographical women. It was founded in 1929.

#15

In 1921, Gertrude Emerson, the editor of Asia Magazine, led an expedition to Asia for the publication. She heard about a little man in India who was making a terrible chaos of everything, and she wanted to interview him.

#16

Harriet Chalmers Adams was the most enthusiastic responder to the survey. She was a well-liked lecturer, and her lecture slides were accompanied by colored photographic slides.

#17

Harriet was the perfect person to lead the National Geographic Society. She had an excellent reputation as an explorer, and she was a feminist who attracted the attention of the press. She criticized men who were afraid that some mere women might penetrate their sanctums of discussion.

#18

The Society of Woman Geographers was an exploration club that was exclusively for women. It did not allow women who traveled as a hobby, and only invited women who had done things.

#19

The Society of Woman Geographers was created to provide women with a place to network and exchange experiences. It was also meant to celebrate the achievements of women explorers, and grant medals and scholarships.

#20

The Society attracted a lot of high-profile explorers, such as Alexandra David-Néel. She was the first Western woman to enter Lhasa, Tibet. The executive committee easily approved Alexandra as a corresponding member.

#21

The founders wanted more high-profile members.
