Hi!
We’re celebrating Women’s History Month with routes of famous female explorers! This week we’re joining Ida Laura Pfeiffer through Madagascar on her last adventure.
Hope to see you there!

From her Wikipedia article:
Ida Laura Pfeiffer (14 October 1797, Vienna – 27 October 1858, Vienna) was an Austrian explorer, travel writer, and ethnographer. She was one of the first female travelers, whose bestselling journals were translated into seven languages. She journeyed an estimated 32,000 kilometers by land and 240,000 kilometers by sea through Southeast Asia, the Americas, Middle East, and Africa, including two trips around the world from 1846 to 1855. She was a member of geographical societies of both Berlin and Paris, but was denied membership by the Royal Geographical Society in London as it forbade the election of women before 1913.
