Women Blazing the Trail Series
From U.S. Supreme Court justices to NASA astronauts, women have broken down many barriers to achieve success in professions historically dominated by men. Women Blazing the Trail is an inspiring book series that tells the stories of women, such as movie director Greta Gerwig and NFL coach Jen Welter, who have helped forge the path for other women and girls with similar goals. With striking color photographs, a fun Find Out More section, and a useful index, this series discusses six inspiring women. They encountered obstacles along their way. But each one refused to let the barriers she faced stop her from succeeding—and blazing the trail for others.
