EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Harriet Chalmers Adams at the zoo in 1912. Harriet Chalmers (1875-1937), an American explorer, writer, and photographer, was known for her remarkable journeys through South America, Asia, and the South Pacific. She married Franklin Pierce Adams in 1899 and published accounts of her adventures in the National Geographic magazine. During World War I, she served as a correspondent for Harper's Magazine in Europe and was the only female journalist allowed to visit the trenches. Her courage and determination earned her election to the Royal Geographical Society of London in 1913. In 1925, she became the first president of the Society of Woman Geographers. In this photograph, Harriet is seen seated at the zoo with a smile on her face. Surrounded by leaves and animals like beavers and nutrias, she exudes an air of intellectual curiosity that defined her career as an explorer and writer. Harriet Chalmers Adams' contributions to geography, journalism, photography, sociology were immense. As an academic lecturer and speaker on ethnology and exploration topics across Latin America and beyond; she left a lasting impact on both American society as well as international audiences. This image showcases not only Harriet's love for travel but also highlights her role as a trailblazing woman who defied societal expectations during a time when women had limited opportunities for such adventurous pursuits.
