Throughout history, women eager for adventure have long faced obstacles and opposition. But here are the stories of 25 remarkable women - from pilots to mountain climbers, deep-sea divers to Antarctic explorers - who defied expectations and made their mark on history. Included are the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license, the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a shark cage, and the first woman amputee to climb Mount Everest. The women's experiences are all different, but they have one thing in common: they didn't let anything get in the way of their dreams!
