Travels in West Africa

Until 1893, Mary Kingsley lived the typical life of a single Victorian woman, tending to sick relatives and keeping house for her brother. However, on the death of her parents, she undertook an extraordinary decision: with no prior knowledge of the region, she set out alone to West Africa to pursue her anthropological interests.

Pana in 1893, Mary Kingsley a trait viata tipica a unei singure femei victoriane, ingrijind rudele bolnave si pastrand casa fratelui ei. Cu toate acestea, la moartea parintilor ei, ea a luat o decizie extraordinara: fara cunostinte prealabile despre regiune, a pornit singura in Africa de Vest pentru a-si urmari interesele antropologice.
