this is like the dumbest thing in the world to write about a 24 yo with zero children who set out on a ridiculously dangerous expedition to record animal behaviour in the wild

A thing it bears pointing out in the context of a young woman living with gorillas, as a culturally memorable thing preceding a general “see women can be agents in the world too” era, is that at the time gorillas were widely believed to rape human women.

(We now know this to be mistaken! A lot of what the public knows about gorillas comes through Jane Goodall.)
