Adventurous Women -- National Women's History Project Shopping Cart
Eight True Stories About Women Who Made a Difference
A compelling collection of true stories about eight inspiring women who were bold enough to confront obstacles and take risks in the pursuit of their goals. Adventurous Women is a book that celebrates the intelligence, fortitude, courage, and contributions of women. Mary Gibson Henry risked her life following her passion for new botanical species. During the Civil War, Katharine Wormeley worked aboard hospital ships and helped save the lives of many sick and wounded soldiers. With a promise and a dollar and a half, Mary McLeod Bethune opened a school for African American girls in Daytona Beach, Florida, in 1904, at a time when schools were segregated. In addition to Henry, Wormeley, and Bethune, Adventurous Women includes the fascinating true story of Juana Briones, an entrepreneur and family head; Alice Hamilton, a scientist and industrial toxicologist; Biddy Mason, a former slave, midwife, landowner, and church founder; Peggy Hull, a journalist and war correspondent; and Louise Boyd, an Arctic explorer.
