Searching for Fannie Quigley: A Wilderness Life in the Shadow of Mount Mckinley
I believe I went into this reading experience with expectations way too high. I was somehow convinced that this book supposed be focused on details of survival in the wilderness, the topic I am genuinely interested in. But it wasn't really. The half of a book was about gold mining business in Alaska and only two chapters out of eleven was actually about Fannie's wilderness experience with not that many details as I wished.
Anyway the book has some interesting insights into the gender roles in exploring of Alaska and eliminating women from this experience.
