Ada Blackjack: A True Story of Survival in the Arctic by Jennifer Niven

3.0

Warning: do not read the chapter entitled "survival" when you are about to go to sleep and need some good rest for the next day! I slept soooo poorly last night as my mind couldn't help musing over these people's conditions.

Overall, a compelling read, but without the information about the men who went to Wrangel Island with Ada, there wouldn't have been enough to make a book about her. A valiant, feminist attempt on the author's part. Brava!
