Voices of Powerful Women: Words of Wisdom from 40 of the World's Most Inspiring Women by Zoe Sallis
3.0
Voices of Powerful Women. Indeed, this book brings to the stage the voices of forty inspiring, diverse women, with the purpose of gaining their opinions on a range of matters: their inspirations, greatest fears, the impact of women on global matters. I enjoyed reading their opinions and their stories.
I greatly appreciated the short biographies at the end of the book, though I do wish the format was made in such a way that these pieces were at the start. I found myself in unfamiliar territory with some of the women, and though I understand that that may be partially the point (which is to say it leads the reader to personally researching) it only drove a feeling of detachment.
However, there is no questioning how important this book can be; one question posed is that of which women, past or present' do the interviewees admire. I'm a huge advocate for showcasing women supporting other women, and this question alone puts this book in an important place to aid with progression. "Voices of Powerful Women" is a read for everyone, and would be a perfect addition to an International Women's Day themed readathon to introduce people to new inspirations.
