Fearless & Forgotten: The Lives of Lady Jane Franklin & Lady Hester Stanhope

Lady Jane Franklin and Lady Hester Stanhope defied 19th-century societal norms with their daring adventures and relentless curiosity. Lady Jane, wife of Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin, became legendary for her tireless search for his lost expedition, funding multiple missions and shaping Arctic exploration. Meanwhile, Lady Hester, niece of Prime Minister William Pitt, abandoned English society to travel the Middle East, becoming the first Englishwoman to enter the Great Pyramid and earning the title "Queen of the Desert." Both women left lasting legacies as pioneers who challenged expectations and embraced the unknown.
