This 1949 second printing of Janet Lambert’s “Little Miss Atlas” offers a rare glimpse into the life of one of the most remarkable women of the early 20th century. Born in 1892, Gladys Marguerite Cayzer defied societal norms and embarked on a series of daring solo expeditions across the globe, earning her the nickname “Little Miss Atlas.” Lambert’s biography, based on Cayzer’s own diaries and letters, vividly captures the spirit of adventure and determination that propelled this intrepid explorer through uncharted territories and hostile environments. From the deserts of Arabia to the jungles of Borneo, Cayzer’s exploits challenged prevailing attitudes about women’s capabilities and inspired a generation of female travelers. Collectors will appreciate this well-preserved copy of a book that celebrates a true pioneer of female empowerment and the golden age of exploration.
