who left the comfort of a high-profile job to explore the world on her bike
Gina Johansen who skied solo across the Arctic Finnmarksvidda plateau
Alienor Le Gouvello who horse trekked over 3,300 miles across Australia
Cal Major who SUPed the length of the UK to raise awareness of ocean plastic pollution
and other women, who tell of how they listened to their own inner voice, bucked tradition, and gave it everything they had.

Told in their own words, their fascinating stories are illustrated with jaw-dropping photographs of their adventures--on passes in the Swiss Alps

from Mexico's underwater caves to the Sequoia forests of California.

From the ocean's deepest canyons to the earth's highest peaks, these extraordinary women offer readers the inspiration and encouragement they need to pursue their dreams--whatever they are, wherever they may be.
