Across the World in Skirts by Amy Turner The Voyage of the Pleiades opens with an introduction to Linnea Wren, a botanist working at the Chelsea Physic Garden. Linnea has successfully completed several botanical surveys around the world and has gained notoriety as a brilliant naturalist. How realistic is this story about a woman being a renowned naturalist, leading her own expedition in the late 19th century?
