I love books about female explorers from other times, but I just cannot get into this one. I liked "Passionate Nomad-the Life of Freya Stark" much better. Bell was a contemporary of Lawrence of Arabia, Stark was inspired by him, so she came later. Stark's own books about her adventures are fabulous, her biography less so, and it is the same with Bell. I've been slogging through this one for two weeks and just finally gave up. Maybe it gets better.
