The Girl Who Rode a Shark and Other Stories of Daring Women by Alisa Ross
My fascination with amazing women is no secret. I'm constantly on the lookout for more inspiring figurees, making books like this one thrilling to explore. Ross introduces the reader to more than 50 women, organized by the kind of contribution they made to their society or to the world at large. Each woman gets a couple of pages of information, mostly focused on their achievement. Most will be unfamiliar to readers, so hopefully young readers will be inspired to do more research. At the end of each profile, we are given the names of a couple of women who made similar achievements. So the reader walks away from this book with the names of more than 100 amazing women!
