During a 5\,000 mile solo bicycle ride fro m southern California to Maine\, Tessa Hulls heard the same thing daily: t hat a woman can&rsquo\;t travel alone.
\nShe began researching other women who traveled solo in different ways\, and became fascinated with ma ny in stories from the early 20th century: explorers\, mountaineers\, and even a circus performer&mdash\;women who defied expectations and embarked on unprecedented journeys\, whose stories have remained largely untold.
\nUsing historical photographs\, primary documents\, and hand-drawn il lustrations\, Hulls takes participants into the lives of intrepid female a dventurers who lived through the turn of the 20th century&mdash\;before th e right to vote or the right to own property. In sharing these stories and her own\, Hulls illuminates the power of history in today&rsquo\;s world and demonstrates why female role models are vital in affecting social chan ge.
\nTessa Hulls is a multidisciplinary artist\, writer\, and outdo orswoman who focuses on women&rsquo\;s stories.
