      Prepare to be astounded at the incredible feats accomplished by the women featured in the Daring Women series (4 new titles). Readers will find women from around the globe who have overcome tragic accidents, wielded their art, set sports records, and outwitted enemies as spies. In Dared to Compete, readers meet athletes who have set records in areas such as gymnastics and basketball, many of whom faced barriers and discrimination and utilized their positions to bring to important causes. Each title is divided into four chapters that thematically group the women featured therein. The authors provide brief overviews of the women's lives and achievements, including interesting fact boxes along the way. Large photographs depict some of the women featured, as well as their work, while data charts, a time line, and critical thinking questions round out each volume. A great addition to children's nonfiction collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
