84 reviewsA voyage of discovery, nature & untold histories - in the vein of Clare Wright, Edmund de Waal & Helen Macdonald. When the first woman to circumnavigate the world completed her journey in 1775, she returned home without any fanfare at all. Jeanne Barret, an impoverished peasant from Burgundy, disguised herself as a man & sailed on the 1766 Bougainville voyage as the naturalist's assistant. For over two centuries, the story of who this young woman was, why she left her home to undertake such a perilous journey & what happened when she returned has been shrouded in uncertainty.
Biologist & award-winning author Danielle Clode embarks on a journey to solve the mysteries surrounding Jeanne Barret. From archives, herbariums & museums to untouched forests & open oceans, Clode's mission takes her from France & Mauritius to the Pacific Islands & New Guinea to reveal the previously untold full story of Jeanne's life as well as the achievements & challenges of her famous voyage. This book is an ode to the sea, to science & to one remarkable woman who, like all explorers, charted her own course for others to follow.
