Emilia Fox tells the story of how Victorian rebel Marianne North changed the face of botanical research, propelling her to the top of a male-dominated world of science and exploration. With exclusive access to Kew Gardens and Marianne's wealth of personal memoirs, letters and paintings, this is a tale of a visionary who rejected marriage and social convention for a pioneering life of conservation and adventure.
