description: Based on interviews with Clare Francis, Christina Dodwell, Dervla Murphy, Elaine Brook and Monica Kristenson, this book explores the reasons why some women choose to leave behind conventional lifestyles and, often unaccompanied, seek out the loneliest places on earth, often setting themselves apparently impossible goals. The author found that, whilst each woman prepared herself and then undertook her solitary and often dangerous journey in her own way, there were also ideas and desires which all five shared.
