Summary
When the first woman to circumnavigate the world completed her journey in 1775, she returned home without any fanfare at all. Jeanne Baret, an impoverished peasant from Burgundy, disguised herself as a man and sailed on the 1766 Bougainville voyage as the naturalist's assistant. For over two centuries, the story of who this young woman was, why she left her home to undertake such a perilous journey and what happened when she returned has been shrouded in uncertainty
