Women Who Led The Way
Otter-Barry Books Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-913074-43-2 (ISBN)
From Aud the Deep-Minded, an early voyager to Iceland, and Sacagawea who guided the Lewis and Clark expedition across the USA, to Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space and Arunima Sinha, the first woman amputee to climb Mount Everest, this book shows the incredible courage, determination and power of women explorers over the last 1200 years.
These women have led the way exploring lands, oceans, mountains, skies and space, but have also made pioneering discoveries in the fields of science, nature, archaeology, ecology and more.
The lives of these women, told as personal stories, are an inspiration to us all.
Mick Manning and Brita Granström have developed a unique and highly successful approach to non-fiction picture books, with illustrations and text that bring the young reader right into events. Of their Charles Dickens: Scenes from an Extraordinary Life (2011), Simon Callow wrote in The New York Times that their "verve and wit are infectious...a wonderful, enduring introduction". Their many awards include the Smarties Silver Award, the English Association Award (four times), and the Royal Society Young People's Book Award. Their books for Otter-Barry Books include The History of Prehistory: An adventure through 1 billion years of life on Earth and Books! Books! Books!: Explore inside the Greatest Library on Earth. Mick and Brita live on the Scottish-English border.
