She’s best known for her record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days, following the fictional character’s journey in Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days.”  “It takes a certain amount of ability to put yourself out there and to ask questions of all kinds of different people, to be able to relate to all kinds of different people,” said Stacey Federoff, president of the Women’s Press Club of Pittsburgh. “And so to think about her doing it in such a different time where there weren t as many women who had taken that path already.”
