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.
Reviews
And all the contributor have done a fabulous job of quickly telling some interesting things about how these individuals blazed trails for all people to follow regardless of industry, gender or nationality. I long for the day when all are known for just being human.
