"""In riveting detail that builds to insightful crescendo, The Girl Explorers reveals feats and firsts of remarkable achievers who we'd already know if they weren't women. It's about time."" - Dr. Margaret Willson, cultural anthropologist and author of Seawomen of Iceland ""Jayne Zanglein's THE GIRL EXPLORERS is both a celebration and a reminder that not only can women hike, climb, fly, and swim with the best of them, but they've been doing it all along...This well-researched and enjoyable book restores women to their proper place in history, which is: anywhere they want to go."" - Melissa L. Sevigny, author of Mythical River and Under Desert Skies ""The Girl Explorers profiles intrepid women who dared to leave their skirts under rocks to boldly occupy space their male counterparts did. A compelling collection of intrepid women -- pilots, scientists, mountain climbers, social reformers, and more -- it uniquely celebrates the work of lesser-known explorers. Highly recommended!"" - Kathryn Aalto, author of Writing Wild: Women Poets, Ramblers, and Mavericks Who Shape How We See the Natural World"
