- Description: A woman of intrepid spirit, unyielding determination, and a thirst for knowledge, she embarked on solo journeys across the American continents – North America in 1885, Central America and the Caribbean in 1886, and South America in 1887. At every destination, she sought out what she termed "the most humble people," diligently recording her observations for future publications back in Paris. In her travel accounts, she challenged the prevailing societal views about adventurous women. Her journey in 1888 took her to India, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Sumatra, Vietnam, China, and Japan. In subsequent years, she continued her travels to Africa, Europe, and returned to America. Facing numerous adversities, including attacks by brigands and thieves, her travels were a testament to her courage and resilience
