Book Description

Unappreciated for her talents. Abilities doubted because of her sex. Remarkable women who challenged societal norms and achieved great feats.

Ever wondered what it was like to be a pirate or to cycle around the world? What was it like to be put in a women’s lunatic asylum? Be inspired by the women who did these adventurous acts and led the way.

While teaching English and History in schools, Christine Bennet found it necessary to include many of these remarkable women who got overlooked in the textbooks.

We are taught, women are supposed to be the weaker sex. They should let the men rule the world and take charge of things; they are the adventurous ones. We see even as time goes on, women are still having to fight for their place in society and for equality. From fighting pirates, to pioneering aviators, the fight for comfortable swimwear, mountain climbers, space exploration to cycling around the world, all done by adventurous women. Now, look back through history and discover these remarkable women who fought to break down barriers with their can do attitudes.

Take a dive into the inspirational characters who changed their worlds:
• the influential female pirates of the Caribbean, Mary and Anne
• the determination of Jean Robertson and Kathleen Howell who literally drove into history
• the competitive and scandalous Aqua Queen - Annette Kellerman
• the persistence and bravery of Amelia Earhart
• the ingenuity of Ada Blackjack—the female Robinson Crusoe
…and so many more awe-inspiring stories of these women who made history.

To follow the footsteps of these extraordinary women, with engaging storytelling and fascinating facts, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in women's history and their contributions to the world.
