This entertaining short story from Anthony Trollope follows the adventures of self-proclaimed 'emancipated Englishwoman' Miss Sabrina Dawkins as she takes a solo trip to visit the pyramids of Egypt. With a strong sense of her own independence, Miss Dawkins nevertheless attempts to attach herself to another visiting party when it suits her, with inevitably humorous consequences. An Unprotected Female at the Pyramids gives voice to commonly held assumptions about single women from the time, while delightfully headstrong Miss Dawkins upends them. With a memorable cast of characters, we begin to wonder who needs protection from who!-
