Women Explorers chronicles the lives of six intrepid women whose hunger for adventure and knowledge compelled them on paths of discovery around the world. Their discoveries not only brought stores of information on topics ranging from ancient dinosaur fossils to life in Tibet, but also challenged the established roles of women in their fields. Hendrickson made history in 1990 when she found the most complete T. rex fossil--named Sue in her honor--ever discovered. She continues to explore ancient ruins as an ocean diver.
