The Daughter Of An Austrian Merchant, She Made Clear From An Early Age That She Would Not Be Bound By Convention, Dressing In Boys Clothing And Playing Sports. After Her Tutor Introduced Her To Stories Of Faraway Lands, She Became Determined To See The World Firsthand. This Determination Led To A Lifetime Of Travelmuch Of It Aloneand Made Her One Of The Most Famous Women Of The Nineteenth Century.Pfeiffer Faced Many Obstacles, Not Least Expectations Of Her Gender. She Was A Typical Nineteenth Century Housewife With A Husband And Two Sons. She Was Not Wealthy Nor Well Connected. Yet After The Death Of Her Husband, And Once Her Sons Were Grown And Settled, At The Age Of Fortyone She Set Off On Her First Journey, Not Telling Anyone The True Extent Of Her Travel Plans. Between That Trip And Her Death In 1858, She Would Barely Pause For Breath, Circling The Globe Twicethe First Woman To Do Soand Publishing Numerous Popular Books About Her Travels.
