Eliza Scidmore
'A wonderful connecting of two women writers' stories more than a century apart.' Julia Kuehn, The University of Hong Kong The first-ever biography of the pioneering female journalist who fought to bring Japanese cherry trees to Washington, DC Every age has strong, independent women who defy the gender conventions of their era to follow their hearts and minds.

Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore and Japan

Scidmore traveled to the American frontiers, such as the Dakota territory and the Alaskan wilderness--including the Aleutians--and wrote the first travel guide to Alaska. She was also the first female regular correspondent for National Geographic, and wrote extensively about exotic places in the Far East.
