Originally, Robert Peary hired Henson as a servant, but in 1908, when it was time for Peary’s third and final attempt to reach the North Pole, it was Henson who was Peary’s most trusted partner. As a Black American at the turn of the century, he faced constant racism, but in the Arctic, his character and skills couldn’t be ignored. He was the best person to lead the final push to the North Pole, but would he be the first to reach it?

Not only did she visit 88 temples on her 900 mile pilgrimage, but she learned to observe the world in new ways and write her own story. As a young woman, everyone told her that she shouldn’t attempt the dangerous route. Hiking through the mud and rain, she gained confidence, and the stories she wrote went on to have an enormous impact on Japanese society. She felt that a reckless adventure into the unknown was better than standing still and proved that women were stronger than anyone imagined.
