Ida Laura Pfeiffer (1797 - 1858) was an Austrian traveler and author. She was one of the first female explorers, whose popular books were translated into seven languages. Pfeiffer was an independent thinker. During the grand review held in Schonbrunn Palace, she protested against foreign occupation by turning her back as Napoleon rode past.

Pfeiffer undertook this journey by herself in a time when many men would not have ventured along this route Less
