It includes the short biographies of women daredevils like Annie Taylor, who went over Niagra Falls in a barrel, Mabel Stark who was a tiger-tamer, and Sonora Carver, who dived into water on horseback. These brave women performed these brave acts in a time when women were expected to be home-makers. Their courage and bravery made them inspiring in an era time when women were simply testing the waters of equality and freedom. It's a great historical book to show brave women throughout history. I would use this in a history unit of the early 1900s, probably in a 4th or 5th grade classroom. This interesting and informative book recalls the lives of ten of history's most spunky women. They were daredevils, putting on death-defying feats for the entertainment of others (and for their own thrills... or for fame and fortune in some cases). The women in this book were shot out of cannons, went over Niagara Falls in a barrel, danced the Charleston on the wings of an airplane, drove automobiles in loop-the-loops, or rode horses diving off platforms into a pool of water. And so much more. This is a women's history book sure to spark the interest of elementary and middle school kids. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
