Women Who Dared

By Linda Skeers 

Hardcover 

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 many of whom you may not know, but all of whom you SHOULD know, such as: Annie Edson Taylor, the first person who dared to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel and Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman who dared to fly in space.
