Used book – Je te vois reine des quatre parties du monde, Alexandra Lapierre

Here is the portrait of a woman in the most violent and misogynistic environment in Spanish history: that of the conquistadors and great navigators of the New World. At a time when daughters strictly belonged to their fathers, Isabel Barreto dared to live the same adventures as men and, like Christopher Columbus and Magellan, attempted to push the boundaries of known worlds. She discovered the Marquesas Islands, the Solomon Islands, and many unknown archipelagos in Oceania. She crossed the Pacific from one end to the other, traveled almost half the globe on a maritime route that had never been explored, and reached Asia.
