Summary

JOIN LOUISE MINCHIN ON 17 EXHILARATING ADVENTURES WITH TRAILBLAZING WOMEN WHO ARE BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS, SMASHING RECORDS AND CHALLENGING STEREOTYPES.

'To get to the heart of who these women are… I decided to do it the way that I know best, by taking part, spending time right beside them to experience the things they love.'

Driven to bring more attention to female stories of courage and endeavour, Louise Minchin pushes herself to the extreme and embarks on thrilling endurance adventures with trailblazing women.

She freedives under the ice in the dark in Finland with Cath, the first woman to swim a mile in the Antarctic Circle; she cycles across Argentina with Mimi, one of the world’s most famous female endurance runners; and she swims from Alcatraz with Anaya and Mitali, two young sisters who have braved the shark-infested waters over 70 times.

With her natural empathy and sense of humour, Louise forms close bonds with 18 incredible women. She explores what drives them and how they find the resilience and determination to go on despite life’s setbacks. Lizzie overcame a life-threatening illness and now paddleboards whilst cleaning up the planet with her community; Rhian set up a charity in the face of grief and fundraises through hikes; and Zee took up rugby alongside her busy nursing career and motherhood.

Louise reminds us of the bravery inside us all, and how essential it is to celebrate women’s achievements. Prepare to be touched and inspired by these fearless women.

Great listen

A very inspiring book showcasing some incredibly strong women. It was interesting to hear the back story to why it was written too. I’m a fan of Louise and she’s part of the reason I do triathlon, if she can then I can. Some incredible stories in the book and a great listen. Thanks Louise for putting it together 😃😃

Promised more than actually delivered

I loved this concept however the stories did not live up to my expectations. Probably wrong to judge what other people considered a challenge but I did feel there were better stories to tell
Also an underlying theme of almost mam hating, it felt at times unnecessary to make a comparison to male counter parts. I felt the outrage at not knowing about the female adventurer was unfair- isn’t it the role of a good journalist to research their topics and find such material?
Undeniably some brilliant woman included here however which saved the read.
At times the language and tone of the book was a bit over the top and turned it into almost a characterisation of a badly written romantic novel.
