Jo Woolf: Epic Women Explorers

We have the absolute pleasure of welcoming Jo Woolf back onto the show.

Jo passionately discusses women explorers who broke taboos by venturing out to explore the world. This episode exposes bold, brave, and expert women who often travelled alone to faraway lands, having both liberating and scary experiences, and contributed immensely to institutions such as The Royal Scottish Geographical Society.

Jo is a Writer-in-Residence at The Royal Scottish Geographical Society and has written The Great Horizon.
"The vignettes in this beautifully written book are all drawn from the archives of the RSGS and include insight into names such as Shackleton, Scott, Amundsen and Armstrong! Prepare to be inspired!" RSGS.

Please take a look at Jo's website, The Hazel Tree, where you can find more of Jo's brilliant work, including Britain’s Landmarks and Legends,  Britain’s Birds:  A Treasury of Fact, Fiction and Folklore, Britain’s Trees:  A Treasury of Traditions, Superstitions, Remedies and Literature (Published by HarperCollins for The National Trust;); James Croll and his Adventures in Climate and Time (Published for the Royal Scottish Geographical Society)
