Stunning. This book showcases a vast number of powerful and inspirational women, entrepreneurs, artists, designers, CEOs, just to name a few. Highlighting certain traits such as courage and creativity, with a blurb about each woman and then a direct quote from each, relating to their given trait.

Visually stunning, the artwork and colours are amazing. I think this book would be greatly enjoyed in print form especially.

I really enjoyed this as and it may be that i read it at the right time when i needed some advice. This has helped me see that everyone undergoes hardship and that we can all over come them no matter what life throws at us. I did find that some of the pages were upside down in the file however this did not take away my enjoyment of reading all of the inspiring stories

I think the book was pretty interesting, but also "boring". I think this book would have been much better as a simple deck of cards with inspirational quotes. I mean, each person needs different things in a book. Also, the design is very 2013-ish, which is really odd for 2020.

Beautiful book I just read. Love the quotes and colors and sparkles! I would buy this to have for myself and also give to friends in my empowerment groups.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me a copy for the purpose of this review.

Very pretty book - but found the quotes to be a bit random. I was unsure who a lot of the people quoted were, and it all seemed a bit random. The book was beautiful to look at but that was about it.

More style over substance!

Such a lovely book. First, the design and overall feel are lovely. Just a pleasure to look at and read. I love that each woman’s feature was short, yet effective - and then included a quote page. Although I did not know any of these women, they are all hugely successful in their respective fields. And yet, the book felt very intimate - like girlfriends speaking words of love and affirmation to me. The vignettes were encouraging and inspiring without being preachy. And the topics of leadership, purpose, self-care, happiness, and creativity seem to hit all the important notes. Bravo,

This book is literally gorgeous. It has a magical and jewel plate and images that are inspiring. I loved just looking at it. Each section has an advice section and, my favorite part, an inspirational quote from real people.
I would absolutely buy this for a YA in my life.

How frustrating is it to be told by all the different sources the things you must do to be successful in life? This book definitely does NOT do that. It instead takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book was received as an ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Rock Point in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

We all need that encouraging friend to remind us that we are ready and can conquer anything we want. I love the encouraging words displayed throughout the book and everyone will find one that will get their motivation and determination back on track. During these difficult times of COVID-19 books like these are essential to give us hope and continue to strive for greatness even though there is a huge bump in the road. Women stick together and are very supportive of one another through women empowerment and this book just magnifies that to the infinite degree.

We will consider adding this title to our Self Help collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.
