Fearless World Traveler
Author: Laurie Lawlor
Publisher: Holiday House
ISBN: 0823439593
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Scientist. Artist. Rule-breaker. The vibrant and daring life of Marianne North by the award-winning author of Super Women and Rachel Carson and Her Book That Changed the World. In 1882, Marianne North showed the gray city of London paintings of jaw-dropping greenery like they'd never seen before. As a self-taught artist and scientist, Marianne North subverted Victorian gender roles and advanced the field of botanical illustration. Her technique of painting specimens in their natural environment was groundbreaking. The legendary Charles Darwin was among her many supporters. Laurie Lawlor deftly chronicles North's life, from her restrictive childhood to her wild world travels to the opening of the Marianne North Gallery at Kew Gardens to her death in 1890. The North gallery at Kew Gardens remains open to the public today. Becca Stadtlander's award-winning lush, verdant artwork pairs wonderfully with the natural themes.

Book Description
Attending college at 50-years-old was rare in the 1920's especially for a woman. For Ynés Mexía it marked the beginning of a career as a botanical collector. Throughout the rest of her life, she took long expeditions into the wilds of Mexico, South America and Alaska accompanied, with few exceptions, only by her native guides. These explorations enabled her to find thousands of specimens including several hundred newly discovered ones. Her legacy lives on through her botanical discoveries and a new genus and fifty new species named after her.
