What people are saying
about the book
This book includes an intriguing combination of incredibly well-known women, along with a whole bunch of women I had never heard of before. Each of their stories is impressive, as is the wisdom and knowledge that each one so generously shares. The division of the book into 50 separate chapters makes it easy to read in bits and pieces as time allows; but I found the stories so fascinating that I just kept going right on through the book...
Marjorie S. Saulson★★★★★
This is the book for the upcoming generation of young ladies to be inspired and to have role models. Woman after woman relates her story folded in wisdom and triumph. Each woman has a mission and vision to reshape our society at the heart and soul level. Read, re-read and share with your sisters in humanity!

I love the collection of personal stories of triumph. The women are genuine and real in the life circumstances they have managed, this gives me hope and inspires me to continue in my journey. I feel I have my personal team of coaches with this book by my side. I hope to meet each of these amazing women on my journey.
