But it's not just her story: Through Isabel, you're about to discover the history of smallpox and how one expedition brought mercy to those who suffered from it.

In Isabel Zendal, you will discover:

  • The life story of Isabel Zendal and her efforts against smallpox

  • Edward Jenner's role in the creation of the very first vaccine known to mankind

  • Three years against smallpox over the high seas - documenting trials and tribulations of the expedition across three ships from 1803 to 1806
  • A fantastical journey charting the Spanish colonies - from the Canary Islands and the Americas to the Phillippines and China
  • The impact and legacy of this undertaking on the scientific community, leading to global efforts in eradicating smallpox through vaccination

And much more.
