Unappreciated for her talents. Abilities doubted because of her sex. Remarkable women who challenged societal norms and achieved great feats.

Ever wondered what it was like to be a pirate or to cycle around the world? What was it like to be put in a women’s lunatic asylum? Be inspired by the women who did these adventurous acts and led the way.

While teaching English and History in schools, Christine Bennet found it necessary to include many of these remarkable women who got overlooked in the textbooks.

We are taught, women are supposed to be the weaker sex. They should let the men rule the world and take charge of things; they are the adventurous ones. We see even as time goes on, women are still having to fight for their place in society and for equality. From fighting pirates, to pioneering aviators, the fight for comfortable swimwear, mountain climbers, space exploration to cycling around the world, all done by adventurous women. Now, look back through history and discover these remarkable women who fought to break down barriers with their can do attitudes.

Take a dive into the inspirational characters who changed their worlds:
• the influential female pirates of the Caribbean, Mary and Anne
• the determination of Jean Robertson and Kathleen Howell who literally drove into history
• the competitive and scandalous Aqua Queen - Annette Kellerman
• the persistence and bravery of Amelia Earhart
• the ingenuity of Ada Blackjack—the female Robinson Crusoe
…and so many more awe-inspiring stories of these women who made history.

To follow the footsteps of these extraordinary women, with engaging storytelling and fascinating facts, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in women's history and their contributions to the world. Grab Adventurous Women Throughout History NOW, whether it be for inspiration or just for a fascinating read.

Christine Bennet was originally an English and History teacher. While Christine loved to share stories and educate her students, she left teaching to focus on writing. She has always wanted to write a book about some of the topics she taught at school.

“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!!!

Good topic but horribly written

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

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.

Inspirational female role models from the past and present

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2022

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!

Christine’s book takes you back in time to the feats of amazing women from all walks of life with one thing in common: grit. They are not all household names, but in reading their stories, you are guaranteed to be inspired to do anything you set your mind to.

Adventurous women, not to be forgotten

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

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.
