Born in 1831 in England, Isabella Bird lived in a time and culture when it was considered unfashionable for a woman to travel alone, let alone go on explorations. Though Isabel was a tiny woman and suffered all her life with bad health, she became one of the foremost explorers and travel writers of her day! She was the first white woman to climb Mauna Loa in Hawaii, survey the Rockies of Colorado, travel the interior of Japan, sail up the Yangtze River in China,and scale the Himalayas, among other firsts. Not only did this intrepid traveler accomplish all these feats, but she also documented them with her pen and paper. Join us as we discuss the extraordinary life and adventures of this valiant, fearless Christian woman.
