Women Who Dared by Linda Skeers
Women have been doing amazing, daring, and dangerous things for years, but they're rarely mentioned in our history books as adventurers, daredevils, or rebels. This new compilation of short biographies features women throughout history who have risked their lives for adventure.
"A populous gallery of courageous, independent women" - Kirkus Reviews
"Here are the brief biographies of 52 women who have one thing in common-they did not allow fear or social pressure to stop them from achieving their individual accomplishmentsEvery one-page biography is accompanied by a stellar illustration that captures the spirit and attitude of each woman and provides visual reference to their times and their professions. Whether read as a cohesive body of stories or as individual brief biographies, this book is a worthwhile study in tenacity." - Booklist

The writing is snappy and the illustrations fun. This is a winner." - Manhattan Book Review
