Edie Hand & Tina Savas - Women of True Grit |
Women of True Grit relates the stories and secrets of women who
attained the pinnacles of success in their various fields. These 40
first-person narratives put the spotlight on women who reached the top
despite adversity and great personal suffering. Many were the first in
their fields, compounding their challenges. In their own words, these
women share insights about how they were challenged, what inspired them,
what sacrifices they made, and what drove them to become successful.
The
entries include women from various ethnic backgrounds who have lived
all over the world. Some are well known, such as Meredith Vieira and
Phyllis Diller. Some, such as June Morris, the first woman to own an
airline and Delores Kesler, the first woman to take a company public on
Wall Street, are not. You can also read about Diane Crump, the first
woman jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby; Leatrice McKissack, the
owner of the largest African American architectural and engineering firm
in the country; and Justice Janie L. Shores, the first woman elected to
the U.S. Appellate Court.
By sharing their inspiring stories, these
women are acting as mentors for every reader who aspires to great
accomplishments.
Foreword by Barbara Mandrell, and a poem contributed by Maya Angelou.
