About Rose de Freycinet
- Rose de Freycinet, born Rose Pinon, (1794 – 7 May 1832) was a Frenchwoman who, in the company of her husband, Louis de Freycinet, sailed around the world between 1817 and 1820 on a French scientific expedition on a military ship, initially disguised as a man.
- While not the first woman to circumnavigate the world, she was the first to record her experiences, in a diary.
- Being not intended for publication and being both frank and personal musings about people, places and events, her writings represent an important anthropological resource.
