A Woman's Book of Inspiration: Quotes of Wisdom and Strength

A Woman’s Book of Inspiration collects hundreds of quotations from women the world over. Gathered from writers and politicians, adventurers and musicians, activists and scientists, their words are a testament to women everywhere, the struggles they have had to overcome, and the tools they used to do so.

Includes:

• Amelia Earhart: “Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.”
• Isabel Allende:“I can promise you that women working together—linked, informed, and educated—can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet.”
• Gloria Vanderbilt:“I’ve always believed that one woman’s success can only help another woman’s success.”
• Margaret Thatcher: “Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”
