Annotation: Extraordinary Women Explorers Takes The Reader through the extraordinary lives of twelve women. Their stories begin with Sacagawea, guide to the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1805, and end in the present, with Mattie McNair, leader of Arctic and Antarctic expeditions. Their insatiable curiosity, drive and sense of adventure propel them to discover the world around them and their own abilities and potential. As explorers they bring skills in cartography, geography, history, anthropology, botany, photography, linguistics and writing to their travels. These are stories of women who dare to push beyond their own communities in order to live their dreams.
