Biography
No Country For A Woman by Jane Dismore (ISBN: 9781803996141), which tells the story of Lady Dorothy Mills: explorer, writer, adventurer and imbiber of cocktails. She seems to have taken the advice of a relative to heart when she was told as a young girl that as she would never be beautiful, she had better be interesting. A trail-blazing and fascinating life, her sense of adventure often took her to explore places where European women had rarely ventured, earning her a Fellowship of the Royal Geographical Society.
