Summary "The Leopard Woman" by Stewart Edward White is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely during the 1910s. The book follows the journeys of Kingozi, a white hunter and ivory trader, as he traverses the wilds of Equatorial Africa, closely observing the dynamics of his safari crew, which includes local porters and specialized guides. The opening chapters set the stage for themes of adventure, survival, and the complexities of African expeditions, all while hinting at an intriguing encounter with a character known as the Leopard Woman. At the start of the story, we meet Kingozi and his safari nearing the end of a long march across a vast, arid landscape. Describing the expansive terrain, the narrative introduces the rhythm of the expedition against the backdrop of a uniquely wild setting. As the safari comes across a herd of game animals, Kingozi successfully hunts a wildebeeste, showcasing his skills and the camaraderie with his native guide, Simba. The tranquil atmosphere shifts as they encounter the remnants of another expedition led by the Leopard Woman, who is characterized as a striking figure challenging stereotypes of women in her time. This foreshadows a complex interaction that promises to evolve as their paths cross, setting the tone for the unfolding drama in the heart of Africa. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
