In the fall of 2014, Bancroft and Liv Arnesen will lead a group of women on an expedition down the River Ganges from Gaumukh to the Bay of Bengal. Each of the women will represent key water challenges on their continent. Find out what this inspiring and intrepid explorer says about leadership, risk, and changing the world.
