Victorian Lady Travellers by Dorothy Middleton was given to me by a friend and I thought it sounded really interesting. I wasn't familiar with any of these women before starting this book, but this was an intriguing introduction to their lives. I especially would like to learn more about Marianne North for sure. By the way, the description of this book says that it's "lively, amusing". I don't know if I'd go that far, but it is interesting.

Not the most well-written book but good for historical purposes.
