IN THE PATH OF FEMALE EXPLORERS

Jacki Hill-Murphy has always dreamed of experiencing the journeys of past female explorers. However, she was a
mother and a teacher, so she couldn’t find the time for adventures. In 2007 her son left school, so she decided to follow
her dream.
First, she set out on Isabela Godin’s route. Isabela Godin didn’t see her husband for 20 years. In 1769, she led 42
people through the Amazon in order to see him again. They travelled in
a canoe on the Amazon River, but the boat began to sink, so they continued on land. Then, the people in her group
started dying from diseases and Godin was the only person to survive. Hill-Murphy followed Godin’s voyage, but with
modern-day medicine and equipment.
Hill-Murphy also followed Mary Kingsley’s journey. In 1894, Kingsley planned a route to Africa in order to complete her
father’s book about the area. Kingsley wore the long dresses of the time and travelled with a group of men. She couldn’t
change her clothes on the trail as the men were watching her, so she often travelled wet. When the men refused to join
her, Kingsley climbed alone to the top of Mount Cameroon, one of
Africa’s largest volcanoes. More than
100 years later, Hill-Murphy repeated
Kingsley’s journey, but luckily, she
could do it in dry clothes.
Since then, Hill-Murphy has written books
and given talks about female explorers.
She has also continued to lead an
adventurous life.
