Tropic Fever

In 1895 the so far well protected Victorian lady Mary Kingsley came to a grave decision. Her father, a doctor and pastime ethnologist, had just dies, and her mother passed away only a few weeks later. Mary Kingsley at 32 years felt all on her own. Too old already, in those days, to have great chances on the marriage market. So grieving Mary came to the serious point: She wanted to conclude her father's ethnological studies. And travel the wildest parts of Africa.
