Isabella Bird (1831 – 1904) was an English explorer, writer, and a natural historian. She visited Northern America, Asia including China, Tibet, Korea, Japan and Australia. Her letters to her sister, first printed in the magazine ‘Leisure Hour’ comprised her fourth and perhaps most famous book, “A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains”. Another intrepid lady naturalist.
