Well, I think I was kind of lucky because it wasn't a male-dominated field because nobody really was going out at that time. Now, of course, everybody is studying. Back then, there were two primate studies that and a giraffe study. Most studies were in captivity. And so everybody, you know, it wasn't like it is today. And I was really lucky. I had the whole feel.

No, I wasn't scared. It was my dream, remember. And there were two problems. First, money, always money. Because, I mean, as you say, I wasn't trained, hadn't been to college, but finally got money for six months from an American philanthropist. And second, it was Tanganyika back then, Tanzania today. And the British authorities said, we won't take responsibility. Is this a stupid idea?

Young girl going in the forest. In the end, they said, oh, all right, but she can't come alone. That was when my amazing mother volunteered to come. That's incredible. And we, you know, our expedition was a shoestring. We had one old secondhand tent between us. We had to take a cook and we had scant supplies. But I was, you know, up in the hills every day. You were 26 years old.

Well, I can only think of the advice my mother gave me. You know, if you want to do something, work hard and take advantage of opportunity. The key thing is you've got to know you really want to do it. So today, you know, people take gap years. And that's really good because you can find out, is this really what I want to spend my life doing?

And also I meet young people and they're perhaps in their second year at university. And they say, well, you know, I actually made a mistake, but I can't change now. Well, that's the biggest mistake.

And, you know, there's another thing that some women really want to be homemakers. And yet it's getting so that they're despised.
