In this week’s podcast, courtesy of Biographers International Organization, Lisa Napoli and Jayne Zanglein discuss Zanglein’s The Girl Explorers: The Untold Story of the Globetrotting Women Who Trekked, Flew, and Fought Their Way Around the World. It’s a book in which, says Publishers Weekly, the author “makes a strong case that restoring these pioneers to the spotlight will ‘give a new generation of women courage to chisel away at the glass ceiling.’”
