Women Who Dared Volume 2 brings readers 52 MORE incredible stories of daredevils and adventurers from around the world for readers of all ages. Celebrate and be inspired by the amazing, outrageous stories of women!

Women have been doing amazing, daring, and dangerous things for years, yet they’re rarely mentioned in our history books as adventurers. This sequel of short biographies features women throughout history who have risked their lives for adventure—some of whom you may know, many of whom you may not know, but all of whom you'll WANT to know, like:

Katherine Cheung, the first Chinese woman to obtain an international flying license

Laura Dekker, the youngest person to sail around the world single-handedly

Katharina Paulus, an exhibition parachute jumper and the inventor of the first collapsible parachute
