Who Led the Way]]></title><description><![CDATA[From a wide range of historical periods (the 9th century to the present) and countries, this book reveals 33 intrepid women who broke the boundaries of society as well as geography in order to explore places, peoples and customs. Some of them took up personal challenges, like climbing the world's highest mountains or crossing oceans and deserts; others have joined space programs or pursued scientific research. Some were seeking new places to live. All were and are pioneers. While some are world-famous, others deserve to be better-known. Among them are Jeanne Baret (France), first woman to circumnavigate the globe; Amelia Earhart (USA) pioneer pilot; Junko Tabei (Japan) first woman to climb Everest; Aud 'the Deep-Minded' (Scandinavia), leader of settlement in Iceland; Mae Carol Jemison (USA), first black woman in space; Mary Anning (England), fossil discoverer; Sylvia Earle (USA), underwater explorer and ocean conservation campaigner; Arunima Sinha (India), first female amputee to climb Mount Everest.]]></description><link>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1881664</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1881664</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Manning, Mick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1881664142</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Great Explorers and Adventurers</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781913074432/MC.GIF&amp;client=tampp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1881664</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Antarctic Pioneer]]></title><description><![CDATA["Jackie Ronne reclaims her rightful place in polar history as the first American woman in Antarctica. Jackie was an ordinary American girl whose life changed after a blind date with rugged Antarctic explorer Finn Ronne. After marrying, they began planning the 1946-48 Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition. Her participation was not welcomed by the expedition team of red-blooded males eager to prove themselves in the hostile environment. On March 12, 1947, Jackie Ronne became the first American woman in Antarctica, and, months later, one of the first women to overwinter there. The Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition secured its place in Antarctic history, but its scientific contributions have been overshadowed by conflict and the dangerous accidents that occurred. Jackie dedicated her life to Antarctica through promoting the achievements of the expedition and her husband's legacy. She was also a pioneer in polar tourism and an early supporter of the Antarctic Treaty. In doing so, she helped shape the narrative of twentieth-century Antarctic exploration."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1898359</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1898359</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kafarowski, Joanna]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1898359142</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Trailblazing Life of Jackie Ronne</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781459749535/MC.GIF&amp;client=tampp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1898359</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Disastrous Wrangel Island Expedition]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 1921, Inupait seamstress Ada Blackjack joined a a group of four white men who wanted to establish a trading post on Wrangel Island in the freezing Arctic Ocean.

In We Are Explorers, fourteen intrepid women and their incredible adventures finally get their due. These fearless explorers trekked across deserts in search of the source of the Nile, crept through jungles to discover rare butterflies, journeyed into the Arctic, and so much more. From the famed travels of Sacagawea to the lesser-known achievements of pioneers in aviation, botany, and mountain climbing, this book dives deep into the lives of women who changed the world. They hailed from places as varied as the United States, Japan, Germany, and New Zealand, but all of them followed their curiosity far from home- astronaut Mae Jemison traveled into space! Critically praised author and illustrator Kari Herbert, herself the daughter of a celebrated polar explorer, brings these adventurers to life with an engaging narrative style and richly painted portraits. Readers will love stepping into the shoes of those who hiked, sailed, and flew to places few people-male or female-had been before. We Are Explorers is the perfect inspiration for any child who dreams of travel and adventure.]]></description><link>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1806745</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1806745</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Herbert, Kari]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1806745142</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Extraordinary Women Who Discovered the World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780500652398/MC.GIF&amp;client=tampp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1806745</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Olive the Lionheart]]></title><description><![CDATA["In 1910, Olive MacLeod, a thirty-year-old, redheaded Scottish aristocrat, received word that her fiancé, the famous naturalist Boyd Alexander, was missing in Africa.

And yet she did! Brad Ricca has found a heroine for the ages, and written her tale with a winning combination of accuracy and imagination.' --author Paula McLain. From the Edgar-nominated author of the bestselling 'Mrs. Sherlock Holmes' comes the true story of a woman's quest to Africa in the 1900s to find her missing fiancé, and the adventure that ensues. In 1910, Olive MacLeod, a thirty-year-old, redheaded Scottish aristocrat, received word that her fiancé, the famous naturalist Boyd Alexander, was missing in Africa. So she went to find him. Olive the Lionheart is the thrilling true story of her astonishing journey. In jungles, swamps, cities, and deserts, Olive and her two companions, the Talbots, come face-to-face with cobras and crocodiles, wise native chiefs, a murderous leopard cult, a haunted forest, and even two adorable lion cubs that she adopts as her own. Making her way in a pair of ill-fitting boots, Olive awakens to the many forces around her, from shadowy colonial powers to an invisible Islamic warlord who may hold the key to Boyd's disappearance. As these secrets begin to unravel, all of Olive's assumptions prove wrong and she is forced to confront the darkest, most shocking secret of all: why she really came to Africa in the first place. Drawing on Olive's own letters and secret diaries, Olive the Lionheart is a love story that defies all boundaries, set against the backdrop of a beautiful, unconquerable Africa"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1756258</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S142C1756258</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ricca, Brad]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hcplc.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1756258142</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Lost Love, Imperial Spies, and One Woman&apos;s Journey to the Heart of Africa</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250207012/MC.GIF&amp;client=tampp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1741943</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ada Blackjack]]></title><description><![CDATA["Could you survive being a lone castaway on a deserted island?
