Sample Book Insights:
#1 Blair was fond of the Explorers Club’s ban on women members. She thought that women were falling into the same trap as men when they announced that they were the first white woman to do something. She knew there was a fine line between showing strength when danger loomed ahead and completely disregarding that danger.
#2 Mickie was not afraid of taking risks, as she knew she could overcome any danger. She was collecting specimens for the Brooklyn Museum of Arts and Sciences, and she collected memories of the cruelty of the Congo, which she tried to prevent along the way.
#3 Osa Johnson was an anomaly. She was an independent, feisty, quick-tempered woman. But she was also tiny, adorable, and exuberant. Her energy of purpose could brush aside obstacles entailing physical danger or hardship.
#4 Osa was captured by the Malekulans, and she was brought to their leader, Nagapate. She was terrified of being eaten, but the tribe leader seemed to be fascinated by her white skin.
