Show Notes

This week's podcast guest is Lise Wortley who has been on some fascinating journeys, conceived out of her curiosity about adventurous women from history.

Lise has chosen to follow in the footsteps of women who 'pushed the boundaries' in the world of adventure in the early 20th century and who unwittingly played a huge part in making adventure accessible to women today.

She tells Kenton about the depth of her research, the clothing she has sourced, and the people she has met whilst following in the footsteps of some remarkable women in India, Scotland, Iran and France.
