"Cummins tells the stories of these and other female daredevils with panache, sensitive to their roles as the 'extreme sport' reality-show stars of the day. Harness's action-packed illustrations show each female daredevil performing in period costume and setting." Publisher's noteFrom going over Niagara Falls in a barrel to diving from forty feet into a tank of water on a horse, this book profiles amazing daredevil women who broke with convention and the social norms of the late 1800s and early 1900s to perform their death-defying stunts and earn their due respect as equals to men in their risky professions. AnnotationFourteen daring, wild women who engaged in adventurous feats dating from 1880 to 1929 are chronicled in WOMEN DAREDEVILS. From young teenagers to women in their 60s, beginning with "Zazel: Human Canonball in Pink Tights," and ending with Sonora Webster Carver, "The Girl on the High-Diving Horse," these ladies were eye-catching "extreme sport" enthusiasts long before the phrase was even coined. With Cheryl Harness’s expressive, colorful illustrations.
