- Description: In the mid-nineteenth century, Ida Pfeiffer undertook her first journey around the world, followed by a second a few years later. She is often regarded as one of the first women to complete such a journey alone. Her Frauenfahrt um die Welt (A Woman’s Journey Around the World) recounts her solo circumnavigation, which began in 1846. In this work, Pfeiffer describes her travels across several regions, including South America, China, India, Persia, Russia, and the Ottoman Empire. She records her observations of cultures and natural environments, as well as the challenges she faced as a woman traveling alone in the mid-nineteenth century

When I was but a little child, I had already a strong desire to see the world. Whenever I met a travelling-carriage, I would stop involuntarily, and gaze after it until it had disappeared; I used even to envy the postilion, for I thought he also must have accomplished the whole long journey.
