Review Quotes:
"This book is a must-read for anyone looking for inspiration. Full of insightful and unexpected stories, it carries the reader on a journey of discovery into the full spectrum of human potential, and it's terrific. I have known Danni for over a decade, and this book is a testament to her pioneering leadership. By highlighting the immense power that women have, Danni reminds us that if we are to build a better world, we must elevate and celebrate women as the heroes of today and the hope for tomorrow." --Philippe Cousteau, filmmaker, author, explorer and social entrepreneur

Review Quotes:
"In this book, Danni Washington shares the invisible stories of fearless and radiant women who have shaped technological innovation, advanced modern medicine, and helped us understand and connect to the world around us. Overlooked and underestimated, these women followed their curiosities, built and applied their expertise, and discovered the elements that make us human, the medicines that heal us, the tech that guides us, and the questions that inspire us. Though the roads remain rough and winding, consider the trail blazed: women have been bold explorers and inventors for centuries, now reaching the depths of the ocean and the limits of outer space. What new depths and limits will you discover?" --Dr. Erika Woolsey, marine biologist, National Geographic explorer, CEO & co-founder of The Hydrous

Review Quotes:
"This is a must-read for any curious kid hoping to learn about the most influential people in history. Washington communicates complex ideas in such a fun, easy way for young students and even provides useful resources for any ambitious child hoping to learn more!" --Emily Calandrelli, author and host of Emily's Wonder Lab
