Item Description

Donated by Morgan Fairchild. Hardcover. Women of True Grit (Edie Hand and Tina Savas) relates the stories and secrets of women who attained the pinnacles of success in their various fields. These 40 first-person narratives put the spotlight on women who reached the top despite adversity and great personal suffering. Many were the first in their fields, compounding their challenges. In their own words, these women share insights about how they were challenged, what inspired them, what sacrifices they made, and what drove them to become successful. The entries include women from various ethnic backgrounds who have lived all over the world. Some are well known, such as Meredith Vieira and Phyllis Diller. Some, such as June Morris, the first woman to own an airline and Delores Kesler, the first woman to take a company public on Wall Street, are not. You can also read about Diane Crump, the first woman jockey to ride in the Kentucky Derby; Leatrice McKissack, the owner of the largest African American architectural and engineering firm in the country; and Justice Janie L. Shores, the first woman elected to the U.S. Appellate Court. By sharing their inspiring stories, these women are acting as mentors for every reader who aspires to great accomplishments.
