"Patagonia! Who would ever think of going to such a place?" Florence Dixiewas asked, and her answer "Precisely because it was an outlandish place and so far away, I chose it."Lady Florence Caroline Dixie was no ordinary woman. It was her refusal to accept the life that the Victorian society had assigned to her that convinced her to seek adventure in an outlandish part of the world. When she read George Musters' book "At Home with the Patagonians" she understood that that was exactly the place that she wanted to know. She convinced her husband and two of her brothers to escort her and so the small group left Great Britain in 1879 to sail towards the end of the world. Southern Patagonia was thought to be a dangerous land inhabited by tribes of giants,strange animals, limitless plains, snowy mountains and full of secrets to be discovered. This small group was leaded by a young woman, and so. a feminist was born.Her book is about an untamed land and an untamed woman. Her description of this wild region also describes her desire to prove that women also count.Florence Dixie was a feminist when the word "feminism" had not yet been invented.
