Riassunto

From going over Niagara Falls in a barrel to diving from forty feet into a tank of water on a horse, this book profiles amazing daredevil women who broke with convention and the social norms of the late 1800s and early 1900s to perform their death-defying stunts and earn their due respect as equals to men in their risky professions.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

“Cummins tells the stories of . . . female daredevils with panache, sensitive to their roles as the ‘extreme sport’ reality-show stars of the day. Harness’s action-packed illustrations show each female daredevil performing in period costume and setting. Kudos for bringing to light this hidden slice of female history.”—Kirkus Reviews
