Praise for this book
Prepare to be astounded by the incredible feats accomplished by the women featured in the Daring Women series. Readers will find women from around the globe who have overcome tragic accidents, wielded their art, set sports records, and outwitted enemies as spies. In Dared to Compete, readers meet athletes who have set records in areas such as gymnastics and basketball, many of whom faced barriers and discrimination and utilized their positions to bring attention to important causes. In Dared to Create, readers will discover amazing artists in mediums such as painting, sculpture, and filmmaking. Defied Limitations celebrates women who have overcome difficulties, tragedies, and disabilities to find success in art and sports, and who have used the experiences they gained to help others. Protected Their Country zeroes in on women who overcame negative stereotypes to fight alongside their comrades in the battlefield and to help them as medics, doctors, nurses, spies, and journalists. Each title is divided into four chapters that thematically group the women featured therein. The authors provide brief overviews of the women's lives and achievements, including interesting fact boxes along the way. Large photographs depict some of the women featured, as well as their work, while data charts, a time line, and critical thinking questions round out each volume. A great addition to children's nonfiction collections.--Selena Paz "Booklist"
