The Self-Empowered Woman explores and examines the elements that contribute to the making of a high-achieving woman’s life. For each of the 17 chapters there are mini-biographies of four women who exemplify the trait under discussion, and one of the four has been personally interviewed by the author. Information on the other three has been gathered from biographies, autobiographies and secondary-source research material.

The accomplished women profiled in the book – from astronauts to actresses – come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds (Black, Anglo, Asian, and Hispanic), talents, nationalities, and levels of achievement.
