As a woman raising a daughter, I take every opportunity reading through my CYBILs contender books to read books about women whose achievements helped shape history and “Women Who Dared: 52 Stories of Fearless Daredevils, Adventurers, and Rebels” was a perfect segway to discuss some awesome women. Each story is one page, so it is a bit of a synopsis at best but each manages to highlight what makes each woman daring. The bibliography is extensive and organized alphabetically (which is great!) but readers looking to learn more about a particular person might be better served by the resources also being organized by the person to which each source pertains. I don’t even know where to start on choosing a favorite. Instead, I’ll highlight one of the women who has her very own biography featured as one of this year's CYBILS nominees alongside Women Who Dared:
And some other awesome books to check out based on these adventurous women!
