From Aud the Deep-Minded, an early voyager to Iceland, and Sacagawea who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition across the USA, to Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space and Arunima Sinha, the first woman amputee to climb Mount Everest, this book shows the incredible courage, determination and power of women explorers over the last 1200 years. Also features Sylvia Earle, US marine biologist and oceanographer, Barbara Hillary, the first African-American woman to reach the North and South Poles, pioneering photo-journalist Lee Miller, Bessie Coleman, the first woman of Native American and African-American descent to hold a pilot's licence, Annie Londonderry, a Latvian immigrant to the US who was the first woman to cycle round the world, Nellie Bly, the first female US undercover journalist and a record-breaking round-theworld traveller, Harriet Tubman, who escaped slavery in Maryland and went on to become an army scout and activist. These women have led the way exploring lands, oceans, mountains, skies and space, but have also made pioneering discoveries in the fields of science, nature, archaeology, ecology and more. The lives of these women, told as personal stories, are an inspiration to us all.
