{"product_id":"9781783783342","title":"Undreamed Shores","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the first decades of the 20th century, five women - Katherine Routledge, Maria Czaplicka, Winifred Blackman, Beatrice Blackwood, and Barbara Freire-Marreco - arrived at Oxford to take the newly created Masters in Anthropology. Though their circumstances differed radically, all were intent on visiting and studying remote communities a world away from their own. Through their work, they resisted the prejudices of the male establishment, proving that women could be explorers and scientists, too. In the wastes of Siberia; in the villages and pueblos of the Nile and New Mexico; on Easter Island; and in the uncharted interior of New Guinea, they found new freedoms - yet when they returned to England, loss, madness and self-doubt awaited them. Frances Larson's masterful group biography is a revelatory portrait of five hidden heroines of British scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Frances \/ Larson","offer_id":39887341125697,"sku":"9781783783342","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1208\/4146\/products\/9781783783342.jpg?v=1650628321","url":"https:\/\/chepstowbooks.co.uk\/products\/9781783783342","provider":"Chepstow Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
