Have you ever seen a big wave? One that's twenty, thirty, forty, even fifty feet tall? Here's a better question: Would you ever surf a big wave? Sarah Gerhardt did--and this is her story.This tale of perseverance and indomitable spirit is about the first woman to ride the waves at Mavericks, one of the biggest and most dangerous surf breaks in the world.
Highlighting the remarkable stories of female soldiers during the American Civil War, the book profiles women like Sarah Rosetta Wakeman and Loreta Janeta Velazquez, who disguised themselves as men to fight. It also explores the contributions of women who, while not serving as soldiers, broke gender norms through roles as spies, nurses, and vivandieres, supporting the military in critical ways. Their bravery and resilience challenge traditional narratives and underscore the diverse ways women participated in the war effort.
