There are road trips, and then there are epic road trips. The later is exactly what Harriet White Fisher experienced when she became known as the first woman to drive around the world. Her remarkable journey began in the summer of 1909. She and her traveling companions, with a pet monkey and dog, drove across Europe, Egypt, India, Ceylon, China and Japan before crossing the Pacific. Their adventure continued with the drive across the American West and Midwest. But this incredible road trip is only part of Harriet White Fisher’s amazing story.

On this episode of Coffee With Jim we share another exciting chapter in the American story. And we introduce you to the amazing Harriet White Fisher known as the “Iron Woman” of Trenton.
