Thrilling true stories of female adventurers who never stopped believing in themselves -- and achieved the unimaginable!
Throughout history, women eager for adventure have long faced obstacles and opposition. But here are the stories of 25 remarkable women -- from pilots to mountain climbers, deep-sea divers to Antarctic explorers -- who defied expectations and made their mark on history. Included are Bessie Coleman, famously known as the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license (two years before Amelia Earhart!). But readers also learn about lesser-known women, such as Diana Nyad, who, at age 64, became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage, and Arunima Sinha, the first woman amputee to climb Mount Everest. The women's experiences are all different, but they have one thing in common: they didn't let anything get in the way of their dreams!
