The inspirational, untold story of the founding of the Society of Women Geographers

In the 1930’s the Society of Woman Geographers, an organization of adventurous female world explorers, was created.  Key members served as early advocates for human rights and paved the way for today's women scientists by scaling mountains, exploring the high seas, flying across the Atlantic, and recording the world through film, sculpture, and literature.
