Mrs Charlotte Cameron the most adventurous of woman travellers, journeyed 26,000 miles in order to write A Woman's Winter in Africa." She not only circumnavigated both the east and west coasts, but almost traversed the dark continent. Her dangerous experiences and discoveries show the indomitable courage of the traveller, and without doubt this is one of the most interesting books of the year. This is the longest journey a woman has ever undertaken alone." - The map slightly contradicts this narrative as it would appear that Mrs Cameron (1872-1946) only hopped from port to port and the one piece on inland travel was done by train!!! Quite hilarious. See picture 10486988 for a portrait of this intrepid adventurer!
