STILL I RISE The Persistence of Phenomenal Women

This audiobook is a treasure trove of remarkable women whose lives many listeners most likely have never heard about. Narrator Ann Richardson takes us through the ups and downs of unsung women like Madame Tussaud, a single mother who fled the French Revolution and became a business woman of international reach. The profiles of 25 women are read with a measured confidence that highlights their achievements despite the odds. Upbeat and personal, Richardson projects a tone of pride in recounting anecdotes about a wide variety of women--from political figures to Olympic athletes. This is a volume listeners may want to dip in and out of, skipping around from chapter to chapter, depending on their interest or familiarity with the women covered.
