Ida Laura Pfeiffer (1797-1858) an Austrian lady traveler and travel book author, was member of the Berlin and Paris geographical societies. She visited the Levant in 1842. From Vienna to Constantinople and through Proussa and Anatolia by land in Syria and Palestine. Very few female travelers had visited the Levant before 1850s. She gave precious information, as she was able to penetrate to the Ottoman Harems and see Turkish woman’s life. Of particular importance is her Anatolia travel, as the interior of Asia Minor was still little visited at that time. Not in Atabey or Blackmer. Very rare
