Discover the stories of over twenty amazing people who dared to defy society's rules and get inspired to break the mold.

Determined, clever, and resourceful, these women have not hesitated in the pursuit of freedom — even if it meant pretending to be men!

Whether sporting a (fake) mustache for a few days or for a lifetime, these women — determined to challenge the rules of a male-dominated society — proved that nothing could hold them back.

Perfect for kids who love exciting and surprising stories, this book shows that heroes come in all forms.
