Questions about the explorers' video
Fri 3 Apr - 15:26
1. This document talk about female explorers. They say that a young girl had to work hard if she want to discover new species of flower or pyramids or to go in the moon. At the time of the queen Victoria, women was only at the home and see the world by the window.
The first female explorer presented is Marianne North, an american who is a painter and gardener. In 1860, she traveled in Peru, Japan and Australia. She discovered all the continent to find new flowers to paint. The blue is her favorite color. By his paintings, Marianne has made the world discover new species of flowers particularly the paint "African torch lily". Many species take her name.
The second woman is Mary Kingley. She lived in London and she is the daughter of a doctor who was writting a book about her travelling in Africa. His father died and she decided to finish the book for him. In 1896, Mary go to Africa to travelling the jungle with two large suitcases. The explorer discorved the gorilla, fighting with crocodils, and has suffered tornadoes. For her, a good snake cook is the best meal.
The last women is Alexandra David Neel, she is studying in France and after, she decided to visit the mountains of Tibet. To beginning, at the borders of India, Alexandra was refused to access. So she hid herself with a necklass with skulls. But it's in the Himalaya that she was arrested. The woman wrote many books about her life and she is compared to man today.
2. These female explorers was heroines at their time because they were the first woman to make such great journeys. They are the pride of the others women at their time. These women are also a source of inspiration because, for the girls, the explorers are a model and they identify with their careers.

Good work Mélina!
Can you re-post it in the main topic, so that the other students can see your answer and comment on it?
Besides being the pride of women of their time (although some of them disapproved!) they changed the opinions of men on what women could do.
