Over eight quests, Carroll takes readers along with her as she seeks to learn something from a few great women of history, while looking for ways to be a better citizen of the world.

#6 Trumping The Rape Culture and Sexual Assault by Alexandra Allred

The book was written for pre-teen, teenage, college-bound girl/young ladies to dispel the ridiculous and dangerous myths about those who ask for sexual assault and/or harassment. The way a girl dresses, walks, talks holds no bearing on any kind of aggression or unwanted attention. Yet, we continue to see how females are viewed based on appearance, attire, and attitude. I called the b.s. card on this and entitled the book with intent.
