Too often, the emigration of women has been treated as an adjunct to that of men, especially in the case of families travelling together. In significant ways, however, the emigration of single women from Britain in the 19th and early 20th centuries was distinct from the general movement. It was rooted, in the main, in those features of British society peculiar to their sex, and also in conditions in the colonies that made the venture possible for them. What factors would cause a woman to leave all she has known for the uncertainty and danger of a 'wild' colony half a world away? How did these women adapt to the unique circumstances of life in southern Africa? These are some of the questions addressed by the author, herself the daughter of an emigrant couple, in this fascinating book. The author not only explores the larger issues of single women's emigration to southern Africa, but also presents the compelling experiences of individual women, as seen through documents by them and people who knew them.

Drawing on memoirs, letters and diaries, exposes the hidden history of women who chose to live, work and love as men. It reveals for the first time a long, popular tradition in Western culture, tracing these heroines from the height of their popularity in the 1700s to their re-emergence as a nation's pride and joy during the First World War. Wheelwright uncovers tales of adventure as women embark on great journeys, search for lost lovers or simple escape the dull confines of domestic life. She shows the price these women paid for their freedom, and how changing concepts of masculinity and femininity still marshal our behavior today.--From publisher description.
