Sinopsis
Kerry Gross figured the best way to find stories of inspirational women would be to go meet them herself. So, she packed her panniers and set off to meet and interview women whose lives have inspired others. This was the start of a 5-month mostly bike-powered journey from California to Maine. The Women Who Dare podcast tells the story of Kerry's 5,700-mile ride and features her interviews with remarkable women.
