22 Inspiring New Zealand Women Share Their Vision.
What do Lucy Lawless, Merepeka Raukawa Tait, Leilani Joyce, Sue Bradford and Kapka Kassabova have in common? How did Sukhi Turner and Theresa Gattung rise to national prominence? How did Melissa Clark Reynolds make the transition from an 18-year-old solo parent with no assets to a highly successive businesswoman owning her own company, a millionaire by the time she was 35?
This book is an exploration of the lives of 22 successful and inspirational New Zealand women who have achieved their success over a wide range of areas - on the sporting field, in the political arena, in business and in the arts. On a personal level, many have also fought to overcome prejudice, disadvantage, and emotional and physical abuse before finally achieving their dreams.
In a series of 22 thoughtful and well-researched interviews, author Kay Douglas has helped each woman explore her own inward and outward journey, skillfully drawing out their individual messages. She also shows how each woman's story fits into one of 13 universal themes, ie Creating a Vision, Overcoming Doubts and Fears, Gathering Support, Speaking Out and Healing the Past. A section entitled Personal Reflections distills the insights and messages within the stories for readers wishing to reflect on their own personal pursuit of goals and dreams.
