A review of some of the challenges “powerful” women encounter on a daily basis as they exert their “power” in either an entrepreneurial venture, climbing the corporate ladder or exercising authority within the course of their daily activities and provides useful tools for self-empowerment to overcome these frustrating challenges.
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. Each chapter ends with five exercises designed to help the reader learn how to incorporate the trait into her own life. Following that is a list of ten additional women whose lives have also incorporated that chapter’s specific trait. 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.
