She was the first white woman to climb Mauna Loa in Hawaii, survey the Rockies of Colorado, travel the interior of Japan, sail up the Yangtze River in China,and scale the Himalayas, among other firsts. Not only did this intrepid traveler accomplish all these feats, but she also documented them with her pen and paper.
