Thrill Seekers

"Ann McCallum Staats has written an uplifting book profiling a handful of extraordinary women whose example proves that nothing can or should hold women back. These women push the boundaries of what was believed possible, achieving the impossible." --Milbry Polk, author of Women of Discovery, and member of the Explorers Club board of directors 

Encompassing a diverse selection of women in extreme and unique sports, this book shares the stories of bold and daring thrill-seekers
