The first, of the few, and ultimatily the best

As I bought this book, I could not quite understand why the teacher required the book for the class, other than she herself had written it. As time went on and she began to lecture I truly began to understand why. As she began to list all of the familiar MALE speakers, I then came to question, well what about women? And in the moment of question I understood why we need this book. Not only because this was a speech class, but because all WOMEN speakers had been DISMISSED. As a female it made me angry and dissapointed not only at those who dismissed them, but at myself for not asking earlier where are the Women. This book gives GREAT representation to all the BRILLANT women speakers past and present. It shows the true POWER, INTELLEGANCE, FAITH, STRENGTH, COURAGE and LOVE that these women had for themselves and for what they were fighting for. It is also a great example for those women who will dedicate theirt lives to the ART OF SPEAKING. These women have set the path for all women who are willing to get up and be herd. With that I myself have chosen to be among those women. I don't know how or when, but I WILL BE HERD...
