[2021]., Impress-Publishing Call No: 920 DUN Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "The stories of 67 remarkable women, from diverse backgrounds, interviewed exclusively for this collection. All show the incredible strength, talent, ingenuity, resilience, and bravery that women possess. Among them world leaders, artists, activists, engineers, writers, athletes and entrepreneurs. So many have beaten the odds to succeed in their fields of work; or broken free from the constraints of their individual circumstances. They are trailblazers. They are heroines. And we celebrate them all. In 2017, The Female Lead launched their first book profiling 60 inspiring women who shape the world, providing positive role models for young people. This second volume reflects a different time. In 2021 we face unprecedented challenges and young women are looking for answers to big questions and guidance on how to navigate their futures. These new stories show young women the countless routes to fulfillment and prove that no one journey is right or successful. How we must find our own paths and question the traditional options that women have been granted until now. They reveal new ways of achieving our dreams, of challenging discrimination and changing the world for the better. These amazing women have generously donated their time and stories to inspire future generations and to honour those who came before. The title We rise by lifting others is woven throughout the book; a belief that if we all help each other, rather than seeing others as rivals, we are lifted too and made stronger for our own mission. Together we can drive positive change. Not just for women, but for everyone"--page 3 of cover.

[2020], Juvenile, Creston Books Call No: B Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "Her parents moved her from Austria to Tokyo, Japan before she started school. They were all rendered stateless when Nazi Germany and Austria stripped Jews of their citizenship. She graduated high school fluent in Japanese plus four other languages and went to college in America at age 15. Cut off from her parents by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and America's entry into World War II, she went years not knowing if they were alive. She returned to post-war Japan as an interpreter, found her parents, and wrote the fateful words that make her a storied feminist hero in that nation even today. As Justice Sonia Sotomayor said about Beate Sirota Gordon, 'It is a rare life treat for a Supreme Court Justice to get to meet a framer of a Constitution. It is rarer indeed for that framer to have been a woman'"--Provided by the publisher.
