8Viajeras intr pidas y aventureras nos aporta una lectura deliciosa y el reconocimiento hist rico a muchas mujeres olvidadas que, con su imaginaci n y coraje, hicieron posible el milagro de la aventura en un mundo de hombres.

Mujeres intr pidas y aventureras han existido desde los tiempos m s remotos, aunque la inmensa mayor a han sido silenciadas y olvidadas por una historia escrita por los hombres. Cuando miramos hacia atr s resulta dif cil encontrar testimonios de mujeres viajeras anteriores a los siglos XVII y XIX, poca de las grandes expediciones. Pero cu ndo empezaron a viajar las mujeres? C mo y por qu viajaban? Sabemos que muchas mujeres, incluso amas de casa llevadas por la curiosidad, hartas de su papel social, se lanzaron a la aventura de viajar all donde los mapas estaban en blanco y, en ocasiones, mucho antes que los grandes viajeros, aunque ni una triste placa recuerde sus haza as.

A lo largo de las p ginas conoceremos a estas aut nticas pioneras: monjas de armas tomar, piratas, conquistadoras, ladies viajeras o las olvidadas esposas de los famosos exploradores que contribuyeron al xito de sus expediciones... Damas victorianas que viajan a la selva africana o a los desiertos de Arabia vestidas con apretados cors s, enaguas, botines y sombrillas. Que no renuncian a algunos caprichos: May Sheldon viaja en un enorme palanqu n de mimbre y con su inseparable ba era de zinc, Gertrude Bell cena en el desierto con su vajilla de porcelana, cristaler a y cuberter a de plata...

Y as , sin importarles el riesgo, se enfrentan a can bales, fieras salvajes y una naturaleza hostil. Algunas se visten de hombre para pasar inadvertidas, aprenden a manejar el fusil, montan a caballo como expertas amazonas o escalan monta as para mantenerse en forma.

Cristina Morat nos cuenta la apasionante vida de muchas de estas mujeres, desde Egeria, la primera viajera, a las misioneras del T bet, las mujeres pirata, la primera Almiranta, las damas del desierto, las pioneras de la aviaci n... Aventureras que han pasado ya a la historia como Mary Kingsley, Isabelle Eberhardt o Alexandra David-N el.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Intrepid, Adventurous Travelers is a delicious read and recognizes the many forgotten women in history who, through their imagination and courage, made possible the miracle of adventure in a world of men.

Intrepid, adventurous women have existed since the earliest times, although the great majority have been silenced or forgotten by a history written by men. When we look back, it's difficult to find testimonies of women travelers before the 17th or 19th centuries, the eras of great expeditions. But when did women begin to travel? How and why did they travel? We know that many women, even housewives drawn by curiosity, sick of their social roles, leapt into adventure by traveling to where the maps were blank, sometimes well before the great voyagers did, although there isn't a single plaque marking their feats.

Throughout these pages, we meet these true pioneers: formidable nuns, pirates, conquerors, traveling women, and the forgotten wives of the famous explorers who contributed to the expeditions' success. Victorian ladies who traveled the African jungles or the deserts of Arabia dressed in tight corsets, petticoats, and parasols. They faced cannibals, savage beasts, and hostile environments. Some dressed as men to go unnoticed, learned to handle a rifle, rode horses like Amazon experts, or climbed mountains to stay in shape.

Cristina Morat tells the thrilling tale of the lives of many of these women, from Egeria, the first female traveler, to the missionaries of Tibet, pirates, the ladies of the desert, the pioneers of aviation... Adventurers who have made it into history like Mary Kingsley, Isabelle Eberhardt, or Alexandra David-N el.

Summary:

"A clean, fast-paced tale, with a swift, attentive gaze, and without unnecessary decoration."
