Some great reminders about our obligation to help other develop their(her) leadership roles and responsibilites. Had some reflective momement when I've missed the opportunity and realize that some opportunites don't knock twice.

Just started. I don't think I will read this book word for word. I am interested in some of the women she interviewed and I think that is how I will choose to read the book.
I didn't finish the book,read the parts I wanted and that was that.

Same Author as Mermaid Mambo and Linda brought the book to the book club. Looks interesting.
Just got this book from the library and will start it tonight.
Liked the book. I remember the 1960's so many of the women in the book are familiar to me. Very interesting stories and struggles.
