Two Extraordinary Women in History

  • Summary

  • In celebration of Women's History Month, on this episode of Big Blend Radio's "Lost Angel Travel Adventures with Linda Ballou," Linda talks about two extraordinary women in history, Isabella Bird and Queen Ka'ahumanu.

    ISABELLA BIRD: Linda's latest novel, "Embrace of the Wild," was inspired by the life of equestrian explorer and travel writer Isabella Lucy Bird. It shares the story of raw courage and fierce strength of a plucky English woman’s unflinching desire to be free. Listen to her Big Blend Radio interviews covering Isabella Bird:

    QUEEN KA'AHUMANU: Linda's novel, “Wai-nani – A Voice from Old Hawaii,” was inspired by Queen Ka'ahumanu. Through Wai-nani’s eyes, experience the Hawaiian society as it existed when Captain James Cook arrived at Kealakekua Bay in 1779; ride the billowing seas with Eku, the wild dolphin she befriends; learn why she loved the savage, conflicted ruler, Makaha; walk with her as she defies ancient laws and harsh taboos of the Island people; share the love she received.
