Publisher Description
During wartime, life's challenges become even harder. This unique collection of audio stories from the Amazing People Club focuses on four amazing women during times of war. Still a teenager, Joan of Arc led French armies into battle during the Hundred Years War. As a nurse, Edith Cavell helped allied soldiers escape from Germany-occupied Belgium during the First World War. She lived by her own personal motto: "I can't stop while there are lives to be saved." Harriet Tubman was a slave abolitionist leader and humanitarian who suffered unimaginable things, particularly during the American Civil War. Mary Edwards Walker was a medical specialist during the American Civil War and became the only woman to receive the Medal of Honor. Each woman in this unique audio collection had a very different set of circumstances but each fought for others despite the consequences.
Each story comes alive through BioViews. A BioView is a short biographical story, similar to an interview. These unique stories provide an easy way of learning about amazing people who made major contributions to our world and can help you achieve your ambitions in your journey through life.
