A Suffragist’s Guide to the Antarctic
Yi Shun Lai, maps by Filippo Vanzo
In 1914, eighteen-year-old Clara Ketterling-Dunbar joins the twenty-eight-person crew of the British Resolute for an Antarctic expedition. The ship sinks, leaving the crew stranded on ice floes. Clara, an American and the only woman aboard, has presented herself as a twenty-one-year-old Canadian and faces dismissal from crewmates. A committed suffragist, she records the expedition in a notebook intended as a guide for future women explorers.
