She crossed oceans disguised as a boy
History forgot her - but now her story demands to be told
In 1766, Jeanne Baret, a brilliant herbalist from rural France, defied every expectation of her time. Disguised as a boy to escape the restrictions placed on women.
She joins a global expedition led by explorer Louis de Bougainville and her mentor, the botanist Philibert Commerson.
Aboard L’Étoile, Jeanne faces grueling sea voyages, the constant threat of discovery, and the burden of a secret that could cost her everything. But with every plant she gathers and every mile she sails, she proves that courage and intellect know no gender.
Based on the astonishing true story of the first woman to circumnavigate the globe, Jeanne Baret is a sweeping tale of resilience, adventure, and a woman who dared to chart her own course through history. PRE-ORDER NOW AT
