Publisher's Synopsis
You likely know that Barack Obama was the first African American president of the United States. And maybe you know that Sandra Day O'Connor was the first woman to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. But you might not know that Nelson Mandela was the first black president of South Africa. Or that Schuyler Bailar is the first openly transgender NCAA Division 1 swimmer. 'Who Did It First?' brings together all of these trailblazers into one package. With both well-known figures and lesser-known heroes, it is a celebration of the inspiring innovators who braved uncharted waters to pave the path for future generations.
