An inspiring biographical collection celebrating the
adventurousness and ingenuity of girls and women around the world.
Now more than ever, the world is recognizing how strong women and
girls are. How strong? In the early 1920s, Inuit expeditioner Ada
Blackjack survived for two years as a castaway on an uninhabited
island in the Arctic Ocean before she was finally rescued. And
she's just one example. The Girl Who Rode a Shark: And Other
Stories of Daring Women is a rousing collection of biographies
focused on women and girls who have written, explored, or otherwise
plunged headfirst into the pages of history. Undaunted by
expectations, they made their mark by persevering in pursuit of
their passions. The tales come from a huge variety of times and
places, from a Canadian astronaut to an Indian secret agent to a
Balkan pirate queen who stood up to Ancient Rome. Author and
activist Ailsa Ross gives readers a fun, informative piece of
nonfiction that emphasizes the boundless potential of a new
generation of women.
