Women Who Dared: 52 Stories of Fearless Daredevils, Adventurers, and Rebels (Biography Books for Kids, Feminist Books for Girls)

I loved the images, it’s great for kids and for everyone who wants to learn about amazing women!

My 9 year old is likes history and enjoyed this book.

I bought this for my daughter to learn about strong women. She loves reading the stories of each historical figure and this prompts her to further research these characters to learn more about them.

Bought this book for my Daughter and read some of the stories with her. Just a great overall book for empowering little girls and women alike. In my opinion this book is great in helping to build and shape a foundation for success. My only complaint if any is that each of the stories should of been expanded a bit more rather then a single page.

I bought this book as a Christmas present for a young female family member (she's 10). She quickly started reading up on some of the women. The book came in great condition and is absolutely beautiful. It is filled with wonderful illustrations and easy to read synapses of the women depicted. My only concern is the subject matter may not be the right choice for some families, considering this book is about adventurous and daredevil women in history, so if you or your family does not want to encourage "reckless" behavior (as some of my family members put it), I would recommend another book. However, I thought it has great examples of strong women!

Awesome young person's book. It's short and in really short, might take 5-10 minutes to read about a daring woman. It would be a perfect book for grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. to have on hand to read to both girls and boys. Teachers, either in the home setting or public school could read a daring woman's story and since the chapters don't tell all there is to know, but gives you a desire to go look them up and find out more it could lead to further research and stories written by the student about that daring woman. Another of my favorite things about this book is Linda Skeers doesn't just have a certain age, type or daring woman but she has stories from the 18th century to the 21st century. There are young women and Senior Citizen women, married women, single women, single mom women. Performers, daredevils, flyers, astronauts, scientists, explorers in this book. They are from all over this great earth. My favorite section was about Rebels. Will be buying several more for friends with boys.

Beautiful, whimsical illustrations and meaningful, positive tales of courageous women throughout history fill the pages of this book. The story about the confederate spy has been blown out of proportion by some reviewers. History cannot be erased, and the woman in the story was still brave, cunning, and resourceful even if we don’t agree with her cause.

I gave this to my 9 year old niece for Christmas and she loved it! She is a very strong reader, who also loves to learn new things when she reads, and she was very excited about the book. She told me she is reading about one person a day, and has learned a lot of things - plus she was excited to see it was all about daring women! She said she was telling her classmates about the women as well - that she thought they were very brave! I also enjoyed skimming some of the selections when I first obtained it. I highly recommend it!

Bought one of these for each of my nieces. They love the books. Great inspiring stories that also educate.

Happy with the product - exactly as described and the illustrations have a nice glossy sheen to them.

Beautifully illustrated book
