I love books that you can pick up and put down, read in little bursts. This is perfect for when you need a boost of quick inspiration to get you through a rough day. A great collection of vignettes from women who have been through hell and back, lived to tell the tale and make lemonade out of lemons.

I was inspired by the works of these women - who they were, what they had done, and how they view the world. It left me feeling empowered, excited, and capable of making a difference.

Many of these stories are inspiring. Some were a bit too new age for my taste. It is always good to read of others who are inspiring and have overcome obstacles in life.

Refer to when I need to hear women's stories, and allows a range of options to then go explore.
