A thirst for adventure, a desire to push boundaries, and curiosity about the world fill the 10 biographies in Extraordinary Women Explorers.

Remarkable photographs taken by American Edith S. Watson combine with the sensitive writings of her companion Victoria Hayward to record now-vanished ways of life and cultures of many Canadian peoples from the 1890s through the 1920s.
