The three waves of feminism are explored through the lives of the women who made history in bringing women's issues to the forefront of American society. It was women's fundamental need for independence and an identity of their own, separate from that of men, which thrust the women's movement forward and continues to propel it today.

This reference brings together a wealth of information about pioneering women who took risks and made remarkable strides in a diversity of fields. Whether in the name of sport, science of humanitarianism, the spirit of adventure runs through the lives of these 75 daring women.
