Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Mrs. Theodore Bent (Mabel Virginia Anna Bent), "Exploration in the Yafei and Fadhli Countries." This is an extracted issue from a larger bound volume (complete and bound in itself) from the Geographical Journal, published by the Royal Geographical Society, vol 12, 1898 (London), pp 41-63 in the issue of pp 1-112, 2 folding maps. The Bent report is illustrated by a 16"x13" (image lines, plus good margins). ALSO bound with William Ogilvie, "The Geography and Resources of the Yukon Basin", pp 21-41, with text illustrations and a good folding map. [++] There is a problem with three chips on page 69 affecting three words. Otherwise this is a nice copy, with the very detailed maps in VG (or better) condition.

This article concludes: . the battle of the ladies promises to become historic in the annals of the Society On the original question of the eligibility of women as Fellows of the Society it is scarcely possible that there can be two opinions. Mrs. Bishop (Miss Isabella Bird) and Miss Gordon Cumming are ladies who are surely as much entitled to membership of the Royal Geographical Society as are the great majority of the gentlemen who write F.R.G.S. after their names, and Mrs. Theodore Bent, Mrs. St. George Littledale, Mrs. Archibald Little, and a host of others might be named who have shared their husbands travels in little known lands, and may fairly claim such privileges as Fellowship of the Royal Geographical Society confers.  However, by the end of July 1893, the then RGS president, Sir Mountstuart Elphinstone Grant Duff, had resigned over the failed vote to continue admitting women Fellows and no more women were admitted.". …
