In this challenging and controversial new biography, Dea Birkett breaks through the shallow clichs which have defined this extraordinary female figure to frame a new image of the traveller as actively constructing her own history. For the first time, Mary Kingsley is seen as responding to and part of her time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palgrave MacMillan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47615101599895,"sku":"9780333489208","price":11274.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780333489208.webp?v=1775098041","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mary-kingsley-9780333489208","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
