about book:
Meet the women and female-identifying heroes who have defied death, flouted cultural norms, and risen above poverty to become CEOs, entrepreneurs, activists, role models, media moguls, and movement creators. This collection of stories, essays, and interviews celebrates their superpowers: love, determination, vision, and grit. These 50 women share their wisdom and advice in ways that will inspire you to discover your own superpower.
Each story will transport you into the life and perspective of one who dares to challenge the status quo, dismantle barriers, and empower those around her: Alexa Carlin, a CEO at the age of 17, overcame a 1% chance of surviving sepsis and started the Women Empowerment Expo; Mariah Hanson launched “the Dinah,” the world’s largest party and music festival for lesbians; activist and gun control advocate Shira Tarantino founded the ENOUGH Campaign; Laverne Delgado is program director of Fashion & Freedom, which rescues victims of sex trafficking and helps them learn skills to enter the fashion industry; plus dozens of other women who refused to accept societal limitations and whose achievements offer inspiring lessons for us all.
my thoughts:
Talk about feminism at its very best. Today's Wonder Women: Everyday Superheroes Who Are Changing the World by Asha Dahya is an excellent book that celebrates women who have overcome a variety of challenges in order to create change in the world. It is truly amazing to read their stories and everything they have accomplished and still plan to do. Awe-inspiring to say the very least. I loved spending time with this book and getting to know these women and their causes. I found myself feeling beyond hopeful as I read this book and long after. It is just such an inspiring and motivating read.
I would most definitely recommend Today's Wonder Women to everyone - it is a must-read! Definitely get your hands on a copy and share about it with everyone. These female superheroes' stories should be known and should inspire you to share your own superhero stories as well.
