Who are the intrepid women who undertake major exploits and adventures? Where does their taste for danger and challenge come from? How can the strength and self-confidence which motivate them be explained? What is it that pushes them to fulfil themselves with such determination, regardless of the price?
From Christine Janin to Alexandra Boulat and Catherine Destivelle, from Peggy Bouchet to Nicole Viloteau, all the women interviewed here have something to teach us about ourselves and about pushing our own limits.
