"Solidary Travelers brings new insight into the study of women's roles in natural history and travel writing. It examines the life and works of four women over approximately a century: Mary Wollstonecraft, Harriet Martineau, Isabella Bird Bishop, and Mary Kingsley, and considers their work in terms of professional ambition in the field of natural history, making a case in the process for the inclusion of such popular texts in the history of science."--BOOK JACKET.
