multi-platform documentary, the book includes 15 first person deep-dives into the lives of
influential women such as General Lori Robinson, the first woman to lead troops into combat,
Kathryn Sullivan, the first woman to walk in space, and Aretha Franklin, the first woman inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Many others, including Oprah Winfrey, Madeline Albright, and
Sheryl Sandburg offer their own personal reflections, thematic quotes and perspectives on
balance, perseverance and strength.
Each first-person piece or quote is accompanied by a distinctive portrait by photographer Luisa
Dorr – set up and taken on her iPhone. Others included in this unforgettable volume: Serena
Williams, Ellen Degeneres, Loretta Lynch, Shonda Rimes, Nancy Pelosi, Rita Moreno, Cindy
Sherman and Mo’Ne Davis.
With a stirring introduction by Nancy Gibbs, herself a pioneer as the first female editor of TIME
magazine, this is an inspirational book for all women and men.
“It’s essential that in life you see yourself reflected in people’s stories.” – Oprah Winfrey
“I think you constantly need to prove yourself. There’s plenty of room in the world for mediocre
men. There’s no room for mediocre women.” – Madeleine Albright
