0002006715. Light rippling bottom edge of DJ; DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. A bright, solid book; B&W Illustrations; 456 pages; "Denied a role in Victorian Englan's male-dominated society, Jane Franklin took her revenge by seizing control of that most masculine of pursuits, Arctic exploration....When her husband, Sir John Franklin disappeared into the Arctic in 1845, in a misguided attempt to discover the final link in the Northwest Passage, she orchestrated an unprecedented 12 year search. Though she failed to rescue Franklin, she contributed more to the discovery of the North than any celebrated explorer, and turned failure into triumph by creating a legend that has survived to this day."
