From a true-life ā€œSurvivor Islandā€ tale to the women who flew fighters and bombers for the Allies in World War II, Ed Butts invites you to meet twelve women who dared to live their lives on a tightrope. She Dared takes the reader to the Far North, where a single Native woman put an end to a ruinous war. Thereā€™s Molly Brant, who stepped out of the shadow of her famous brother Joseph to make her own mark, and Dr. ā€œJames Barry,ā€ a prominent army physician whose true identity remained a secret until the day ā€œheā€ died.

These are the stories of women who took up challenges that society felt could be met only by men: Mina Hubbardā€™s incredible journey across Labrador; Martha Blackā€™s adventures in the Yukon; Sara Emma Edmondsā€™s perilous missions as a Yankee spy in the Civil War.

While some of these women achieved legitimate fame, others gained notoriety. Pearl Hart became a Wild West desperado. Cassie Chadwick fleeced bankers for a fortune in one of the most brazen con games ever played.

Famous or infamous, the women in Ed Buttā€™s fascinating book are sure to intrigue readers.
