I like these people

These sixteen women carved their success out of fields dominated by men at a time before popular consciousness and law started supporting a real women's movement. But this is not a book about the women's movement. It is a book which profiles sixteen people who forged ahead, not taking 'no' for an answer. In that sense, it is a book about the human spirit. These people share some things. They do not whine about difficulties. They do not see themselves as victims. They did not start their various careers to prove anything. They followed their own spirits. Many of them, almost ignoring their own hard work,talent and energy, describe themselves as having been lucky. These are inspiring people and I hope that the fact that they are women does not deter men from reading the book. I am glad that I did.
