Women to know

 

 


Ordinary women doing extraordinary things or extraordinary women doing ordinary things. Or maybe a bit of both.

Young women, do not need to be in Switzerland to appreciate this book. It tells of real women, a doctor, politician, athlete, writer and more who were able to achieve their dreams against various degrees of odds. 

It is the story of hope beating the reality of artificial societal standards over and over.

Put together by five talented women writers and published at the same time Swiss women celebrated 50 years of being able to vote.

If my daughter were a teenager, I'd make it required reading--that is after I read it myself--a reminder of the possibility of making my dreams real.
