"I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others."--Amelia Earhart" I’ve never found my sex a hinderment; never faced a difficulty which a woman, as well as a man, could not surmount; never felt a fear of danger; never lacked courage to protect myself. I’ve been in tight places and have seen harrowing things."--Harriet Chalmers Adams
This site is dedicated to all the wondrous women who dared, and continue to dare, to explore the world around them.

May there be many more such brave explorers to follow in their footsteps.
