Jeane Baret: The First Woman to Travel the World

Access. It’s a loaded word. In some ways, it’s the best time in history to be alive as a woman. In others, women still face many limitations, restrictions, and challenges – especially in some regions of the world. 

That’s why the story of Jeane Baret is so fascinating. Meet the first woman recorded to have completed a circumnavigation of the globe in the 18th century – and she did it disguised as a man.

Umoja: The Samburu’s Women-Only Village

Meet the women of Umoja – who quite literally, decided to build a village just for them. That means women and children only. 

It might sound extreme, except the village was built as a safe haven for gender violence survivors, 34 years ago. Today, Umoja shelters over 50 women and 200 children.
