“There are so many women in history who have either been forgotten or never highlighted for the amazing things that they achieved. I find it a fascinating area to write within. I am so glad that people are inspired to share my book with their daughters.” Christine Bennet

When Christine is not writing, she loves to spend time in her garden and has a healthy veggie patch. Her pets are very dear to her and follow her around her home, whether she is inside or out. She of course loves reading whether it be non-fiction or fiction.

This book is an interesting read about some of the women who made history and showed a lot of courage. We are reminded that comparison is the thief of joy as these women built each other up. Rather than envying those women who are doing great things this book will inspire you to join them even if just supporting from the sidelines.

I LOVED this book! It was so interesting to learn about these amazing women, some I’d never even heard of and others I’d never heard the whole story in such a concise and well-put manner. Thank you so much for writing this!!!

I thought this would be a nice gift for my 12 year old granddaughter however upon reading a few pages myself I am appalled at how bad the writing is! Seriously, this author was a teacher?? Clearly not an English teacher (I hope). The subject matter is right on but the writing and editing are so bad I’ll be returning it. Our children deserve better than this.

I have just turned 50 and I thought I knew everything by now, but no... ;)
I enjoyed the characters and new information in this book. It also helps to be reminded about the women in our past who have paved the way for the cultural changes that we often take for granted.

How I loved this book! It would make a great gift for a young woman or teen. School libraries should stock up! I particularly like how, at the end of each woman's story, the author drew out the message to show how we can take inspiration and from the examples of these women's lives and deeds and feel encouraged to be adventurous. An eclectic collection of stories, from pirates to pilots, bicyclists to the motorists Jean Robertson and Kathleen Howell - the Thelma and Louise of their day! It's a fun and easy read and is definitely a 'feel-good' read for any and all genders. Well done, author Christine Bennet - can't wait for the next book!

Books like this really interest me, to learn something new everyday. I hadn't heard of most of the women written about here so it was good to delve a little into their lives. I especially liked the chapter on Sally Ride, first American women in space, her story is fascinating, achieving her success through study, determination, being resilient and most important by being friendly. A lesson for everyone. Well done Christine Bennet for researching these characters.

I found myself totally immersed in this book from the very start. We hear so much about men in history; now there is a great book on the adventurous women in history, too. This book is long overdue and will be enjoyed by many women around the world.
