What a Woman!

Born in 1776 in Iceland, Thuridur Einarsdottir bucked traditional mores, expectations, and even clothing to pursue her dreams and follow her moral code, unfazed by enemies she might make along the way. She lived out a real-life adventure story, becoming a respected fishing boat captain, trekking across the Icelandic snowdrifts as a guide, and advocating for those less fortunate than most. She was a character, a hero and an inspiration. I was fascinated!
