My Trip Around the World: August, 1895-May, 1896

About the author
Known for the travel memoir My Trip Around the World: August, 1895–May, 1896, this writer published a firsthand account of a journey that circled the globe and was privately printed in Chicago in 1902.
In the book, she looks back on travels through Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, turning the trip into a personal narrative rather than a formal guide. The memoir was dedicated to her grandsons, which gives it a warm, reflective tone alongside its descriptions of places and experiences.
Reliable biographical details beyond the book itself are scarce in the sources I found, so it is safest to remember her mainly through this surviving travel narrative and the perspective it preserves.
