Throughout history, countless women have embarked on extraordinary journeys of exploration and discovery. They have scaled mountains, sailed across oceans, flown through the skies, and made significant contributions to our understanding of the world. Their stories are often overlooked or downplayed, but they are no less inspiring than those of their male counterparts.

In this book, we celebrate the achievements of 25 extraordinary women explorers.
