Description: Brassy bank robbers, brave trailblazers, and ball-busting dbutantes make all sorts of noise in this collection of 15 stories...Each individual story is thoroughly researched, and each includes an author's note explaining the context. The heroines are tough and memorable and full of heart, and the concept is irresistible. Stock up-this one will practically sell itself. -Booklist (starred review) These energizing, adventurous, and occasionally somber tales will readily please fans of historical fiction. -Publishers Weekly There is range and balance in tone, voice, and approach, a challenge for anthologies. Placing the stories in historical order allows readers to move smoothly through, and a helpful author's note follows each selection. Readers of historical fiction and adventure need look no further. -Kirkus Reviews Fifteen short stories by notable YA female writers move across the U.S. in geography and time, from a seafaring adventure in 1710 to the search for gold in Alaska in 1898 to the civil rights movements of the 1960s...this anthology moves skillfully between humor and thoughtfulness as it traverses the many paths taken by women throughout American history. -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books No two stories are alike. No two characters either. No two settings for that matter, as these stories crisscross the continent. But if you're looking for role models for young women, you're bound to find something here to like. -B&N Teen Blog
