When Dr. Commerson is invited to participate in a long, exploratory sea voyage, collecting specimens, Jeanne wants to go, too. The only way is to disguise herself as a boy and steal aboard the ship. This is how Jeanne Baret becomes the first woman to sail around the world. Such determination characterizes each of the twelve women profiled here ? including Josephine Peary, Sylvia Earle, Junko Tabei, and Ann Bancroft. They come from across the globe, and their lives span about 240 years. Their accomplishments are real and their stories ? enhanced by thoughts and dialogue imagined by the author to bring them to life ? are contained within a framework of known facts.\u003cbr\u003eThese tales of sailors, cavers, mountain climbers, deep-sea divers, and other explorers, combined with Dusan Petricic's clever pictures, will inspire a new generation of dreamers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"How High Can We Climb?: The Story of Women Explorers | Jeannine Atkins | Hardcover | 9780374335038 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1774328","offer_id":49674916855960,"sku":"1774328","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"How High Can We Climb?: The Story of Women Explorers | Jeannine Atkins | Hardcover | 9780374335038 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1774330","offer_id":49674918789272,"sku":"1774330","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51T8-PbmsqL.jpg?v=1786561563","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/how-high-can-we-climb-the-story-of-women-explorers","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
