This is a 1953 Chris Jenkyns pictorial map of Europe drawn to promote continental travel by solo-women adventurers. Published for a series of essays on solo female travel edited by Eugene Fodor.

The whole is populated by images of women enjoying a multidue of adventures, as well as a fair amount of shopping and romancing the locals.
