Ao sexto episódio, agarramos nos passaportes e viajamos à boleia de exploradoras, aventureiras e curiosas incorrigíveis. Da voadora Amelia Earhart à intrépida Annemarie Schwarzenbach, da incansável escavadora Gertrude Bell à ativista Harriet Tubman, sem esquecer a hieroglífica Lucy Duff-Gordon, fevereiro é para largar amarras. E amarrar ouvintes.

Amelia Earhart: “The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life and the procedure. The process is its own reward.”
