I Married Adventure by Osa Johnson was one of my mom’s favorite books, and she gave it to me when I was a tween. It’s about how Osa fell in love with her husband in her small Kansas town at the beginning of the 20th century and the two of them took off and traveled all over the world, meeting headhunters, filming wild animals etc.
I suppose now it’s less than usual, but in the 1980s I loved adventure books and didn’t know that women had gotten to go do all those things as well!
