Summary |
"For the first time in history, women are increasingly serving as successful leaders of countries, corporations, and communities -- and the qualities that are contributing to their unbridled success are not the ones patriarchal societies have long held to be most effective. Veteran journalist Lori Sokol PhD takes readers inside the offices, classrooms, and homes of thirty women -- from Gloria Steinem to Billie Jean King to Nobel Peace Prize recipient Leymah Gbowee -- who are utilizing qualities like compassion, solidarity, and introspection to create change and influence lives. Through their stories, readers will learn how these traits, which have long been considered soft and weak, are what we need to transform lives, secure our planet, and save the world"--Back cover |
