De negentiende eeuw was zowel de tijd van de grote ontdekkingsreizen, als de tijd van de onderdrukking van de vrouw. In deze Victoriaanse tijd was de vrouw 'de engel in het huis', zoals een Engelse dichter het uitdrukte. Het werd dan ook uitgesloten geacht dat vrouwen zich in dezelfde wilde avonturen stortten als mannen. Wolf Kielich beschrijft de avonturen van enkele vrouwen die het aandurfden deze 'geparfumeerde broeikas' te ontvluchten om op ontdekkingsreis te gaan. In dit boek geeft hij een verslag van de reizen en de motieven van deze moedige vrouwen, die qua uithoudings- en doorzettingsvermogen niet voor mannen onderdeden. Mary Kingsley, Alexandrine Tinne, Daisy Bates en Alexandra David-Néel, zijn enkele van de vrouwen die in dit boek aan bod komen.

In 1905 Mina Benson Hubbard became the first white woman to cross Labrador, completing the expedition that had led to her husband's death. The Woman Who Mapped Labrador makes available for the first time the unguarded and personal diary that was the basis for her famous book, A Woman's Way Through Unknown Labrador. Three specialists have combined their expertise to enhance the richness of this original source. Roberta Buchanan's annotation of Hubbard's expedition diary makes it accessible to contemporary readers. Anne Hart's biography illuminates an Edwardian woman's transformation from teacher, nurse, and devoted wife to courageous explorer and social activist. Bryan Greene's discussion of Hubbard's navigational, cartographic, and topographical techniques shows her to have been a serious explorer. His nineteen newly drawn maps make it possible to follow her journey in detail. In her diary Hubbard's full enthusiasm for the Labrador wilderness shines through her descriptions of the great caribou migration, the Montagnais/Naskapi Indians (Innu), and life at a Hudson's Bay post. She also reveals in frank detail the difficulties of asserting her authority as a female expedition leader and her satisfaction at beating out her male rival, Dillon Wallace.
