Ao sexto episódio, agarramos nos passaportes e viajamos à boleia de exploradoras, aventureiras e curiosas incorrigíveis. Da voadora Amelia Earhart à intrépida Annemarie Schwarzenbach, da incansável escavadora Gertrude Bell à ativista Harriet Tubman, sem esquecer a hieroglífica Lucy Duff-Gordon, fevereiro é para largar amarras. E amarrar ouvintes.
