Item Description
"A Courageous Woman Displays True Grit" Autographed by author, Emma Gomez, Published in 2014 by iUniverse
From the rural mountains of Yabucoa in Puerto Rico to the bustling streets of New York City, author Emma Gomez shares her life story in this inspiring memoir.
Born in 1934 as one of ten children and then graduating from college in 1980, Gomez narrates how she overcame the challenges of being a Hispanic woman in a world that wasn't quite ready to accept her and her high aspirations. Through many stories and anecdotes, this memoir follows Gomez from her early days in Puerto Rico, to moving to the United States, to her marriage and its issues, to raising two children, and to her work on labor issues affecting women.
A true story of facing trials and the satisfaction of meeting one's goals, her recollections provide a testament to one woman's dedication to improving herself and paving the way for other women to do the same.
Praise for Emma Gomez: A Courageous Woman Displays "True Grit" True grit-that's exactly what you get when you read this exciting true story of this self-made woman, Emma Gomez. Within the short time that I have known her, she has unselfishly given of herself to all without prejudice, seeking to give rather than to receive. And that's the point of the story you are about to read. Now she gives to you, the readers, just as she has given to all who have crossed her path . . . " -James G. Nolan Jr.
