Meet ten inspiring women whose passions for exploration made them push
the boundaries
Though most people have heard of explorers like Henry Hudson and
Christopher Columbus, few have heard names like Nellie Cashman and Annie
Smith Peck. Unfortunately, most of the brave women explorers have never
made it into history books because they lived in times when it was taboo
for women to go off on their own. Luckily, the daring women in this book
didn't let those taboos slow them down as they climbed treacherous
mountains, studied Aboriginal cultures, and lived with Pygmy tribes!
With engaging text and bold illustrations, Women Explorers will finally
properly introduce these adventurous women to the world.
