Unfortunately, most of the brave women explorers have never made it into history books because they lived in times when it was taboo for women to go off on their own. Luckily, the daring women in this book didn't let those taboos slow them down as they climbed treacherous mountains, studied Aboriginal cultures, and lived with Pygmy tribes! <p/>With engaging text and bold illustrations, Women Explorers will finally properly introduce these adventurous women to the world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Cummins masterfully includ[es] interesting details . . .
