A frustrated housewife sets out to see more bird species than anyone in history-and ends up risking her life again and again in the wildest places on earth.
Phoebe Snetsinger had planned to be a scientist, but, like most women who got married in the 1950s, she ended up keeping house, with four kids and a home in the suburbs by her mid-thirties. Numb and isolated, she turned to bird-watching, but she soon tired of the birds near home and yearned to travel the world.
