Summary: It's Easy to Identify with the Adventurers
Comment: The picture on the cover and the title made me think that this was going to be "A short superficial collection of stories about women adventurers," and probably adventures that wouldn't be worth mentioning were the people male. I was pleasantly surprised. Common themes are, "Ms. X from a very early age indicated that she wanted to travel" and "After living a conventional, homemaker life, at age 30+ Ms. X started traveling." The stories are written so that that one can readily identify with the adventurers, perhaps precisely because up until the time they start traveling their lives are so similar to people like me who are not. Like a prior reviewer, once I started the book I was hooked.

Summary: A Spectacular Adventure!
Comment: Pairing well known adventuresses with lesser known heroines makes this book a great read for those with various levels of familiarity with the history of women explorers. Delightful anecdotes are coupled with high adventure which kept me saying, "I will just read one more story..." until I found myself half way through the book in one sitting. This is a great book to read to your daughter.

Summary: Not Worth The Price!
Comment: A short superficial collection of stories about women adventurers certainly not worth the price. Described as an "exciting volume"-perhaps only to those who enjoy watching grass grow.
