| 摘要 | This article features French geographer Alexandra David-Neel. David-Neel holds the recognition of being the first foreign woman to enter Lhasa, the forbidden capital of Tibet. She was born in Saint-Mande, France, in 1868. Her father was a French teacher and political activist. She grew up in Brussels, Belgium where her parents moved when she was six. She returned to France in 1889, where she audited courses in Eastern studies at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France. During that time women were not formally permitted to attend university. She studied at the Institute of Oriental Languages and passed hours in the reading room of the Guimet museum, where her fascination for the Orient grew. In 1891, using a small inheritance from her godmother, David-Neel travelled in India for a year. Back in France, she became a touring opera singer. During a tour of Tunisia, she met French railway engineer Philippe Neel. They married in 1904, and she gave up the theatre to become a journalist. At the age of 56, David-Neel became the first foreign woman to enter Lhasa, Tibet. Her journey to the forbidden capital was long and eventful, going by way of India to Sikkim and to other Asian countries, where she immersed herself in Buddhist and Hindu knowledge. |
