(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Cheryl Harness. This welcome companion to Women Daredevils: Thrills, Chills, and Frills profiles Freya Stark, Daisy Bates, and eight other explorers, all born before 1900 and all, Cummins convincingly argues, overlooked because they were "saddled with gender barriers... Females belonged at home!" Neither author nor illustrator can contain her enthusiasm for her subjects ("She was some awesome Aussie, pistol-packin' mama!"). Websites. Bib.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
