Not one damsel in distress: world folktales for strong girls - 1st. ed. - Orlando - 116 p. 8 x 0.7 x 10 inches - 2000

These thirteen folktales have one thing in common: brainy, brawny, brave heroines--and not one damsel in distress! From Bradamante, the fierce female medieval knight, to Li Chi, the Chinese girl who slays a dreaded serpent and saves her town, these heroines use their cunning, wisdom, and strength to succeed.
