Women of Substance : Passion, courage and wisdom at every age

This book celebrates the stories of eight ordinary women who are extraordinary. Fueled with passion, courage, wisdom, shocking boldness and astounding generosity, they are quietly changing the world around them . Each of the women light up their own spheres of influence in her own inimitable way. Their stories will inspire some to take the road less trodden and others to keep doing their best in the life assignment they have. Ranging in age from their early 30s to late 60s, these women come from different industries and different job functions. What they have in common is the belief that they have a responsibility to do what they can to make life better, whether it is for a child, those in need, the environment or the nation.
