        Ellen became a Dame because of her extraordinary adventures. Pretty impressive. I don't have the courage to battle 60' waves but she did.

        not a biography, nor even strictly a memoir, but if you like Crichton his book "Travels" is super interesting.

        Two good bios: "Passionate Nomad" (about Freya Stark) & "Nobody Said Not To Go" (about Emily Hahn). Both women were way ahead of their time.
