Women are entering the national and international arena more than ever
today, from political campaigns to corporate boards to entrepreneurship,
and their success is showing. Statistics show that when women lead
countries, those countries are less apt to go to war. There is also a
positive correlation between the number of women on corporate boards and
greater profits. Women entrepreneurs have also been shown to generate
higher revenues and create more jobs than male entrepreneurs.



In
She Is Me
, veteran journalist Lori Sokol, PhD, introduces
readers to thirty-five women hailing from all walks of life who have
successfully utilized qualities like compassion, empathy, introspection,
and solidarity to create change and transform lives. Through interviews
with women including Gloria Steinem, Billie Jean King, and Nobel Peace
Prize recipient Leymah Gbowee, readers will come to understand how these
traits, which have long been considered soft and weak in our
patriarchal culture, are actually proving more effective in transforming
lives, securing our planet, and saving the world.
