- About The Author
- Mina Benson Hubbard was a Canadian explorer, widely recognized for her pioneering journey through the wilderness of Labrador. Born on April 15, 1870, in Bewdley, Canada, she became the first white woman to traverse and explore the backcountry of Labrador, a remarkable feat during the early 20th century. Her most notable accomplishment was the accurate mapping of the Nascaupee and George River systems in 1905. Mina's journey was not only an exploration but also a personal tribute to her late husband, Leonidas Hubbard, who tragically died during an earlier expedition to the same region in 1903. Motivated by both the desire to complete his work and to establish her own legacy, she undertook the dangerous and difficult journey. Mina's resilience and determination were evident as she navigated through uncharted territories, overcoming numerous obstacles, and enduring the harsh conditions of the Canadian wilderness. She continued to be an advocate for women's participation in exploration and adventure, and her achievements remain a testament to her courage and pioneering spirit. Mina Benson Hubbard passed away on May 4, 1956, at the age of 86, in Coulston, United Kingdom.
