Women explorers always wore dresses! Although most 19th century explorers were men, a few brave women also set out to carve a path into the unknown. They included British explorer Mary Kingsley. In the 1890s, she put the comforts of home behind her and travelled all the way to Africa to study its people and its wildlife.
[Mary Kingsley was the first European woman to climb Mount Cameroon, one of Africa's highest mountains.]
