About

Thrilling true stories of female adventurers from around the world.

Throughout history, women seeking adventure often faced opposition. But, here are 25 remarkable women, from pilots to mountain climbers, deep-sea divers to Antarctic explorers, who defied expectations and made 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 will also learn about lesser-known women, such as Diana Nyad, the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage, and Arunima Sinha, the first woman amputee to climb Mount Everest. Though, their experiences are all different, these women have one thing in common: they didn't let anything get in the way of their dreams!

Watch out world, the next generation of adventurers are about to get inspired.
