WE RISE BY LIFTING OTHERS
The stories of 67 remarkable women, from diverse backgrounds, interviewed exclusively for this collection. All show the incredible strength, talent, ingenuity, resilience, and bravery that women possess. Among them are world leaders, artists, activists, engineers, writers, athletes and entrepreneurs. So many have beaten the odds to succeed in their fields of work: or broken free from circumstances.
They are trailblazers. They are heroines. And we celebrate them all.
These stories show young women the countless routes to fulfilment and prove that no one journey is right or successful. How we must find our own paths and question the traditional options that women have been granted until now.
When you buy a book, we will donate a book to a school. You can nominate a school yourself here or we can choose one for you!
