In the nineteenth century, the world was a hard and dangerous place for women, especially for female explorers.

Isabella Bird's death occurred nearly 73 years after her birth.

It has been argued that one cause of Bird's health issues may have been a(n) skin infection.

On her second visit to the United States, Bird visited the Rocky Mountains in particular.

One honor that Bird achieved was being the first woman to be made a member of a famous exploration society.

Like Bird's, Annie Peck Smith's birth occurred during the nineteenth century.

In her late 20s, Peck was able to attend university in order to complete her education.

Some people were surprised by Peck's decision to wear trousers while climbing because they thought they were unsuitable clothes for a woman.
