Description
Empower yourself and the latest generation of girls with this collection of inspiring reflections from notable, highly accomplished women in politics, academia, athletics, the arts, and business, including Madeleine Albright, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and more.
In What I Told My Daughter, a powerful, diverse group of women reflect on the best advice and counsel they have given their daughters either by example, throughout their lives, or in character-building, teachable moments between parent and child.

A college president teachers her daughter, by example, the importance of being a leader who connects with everyone—from the ground up, literally—in an organization.

One of the country's only female police chiefs teaches her daughter the meaning of courage, how to respond to danger but more importantly how not to let fear stop her from experiencing all that life has to offer.

A bestselling writer, who has deliberated for years on empowering girls, wonders if we're unintentionally leading them to believe they can never make mistakes, when "resiliency is more important than perfection."

In a time when childhood seems at once more fraught and more precious than ever, What I Told My Daughter is a book anyone who wishes to connect with a young girl cannot afford to miss.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: In their inspiring introduction to their timely book, a TV executive and an entertainment magazine editor write that women have a responsibility to help their daughters combat prejudice against women, to teach them that "we don't need to demand equality so much as we need to live and breathe it in everything we do." As Nina Tassler reads the introduction, her slow enunciation and sincere tone set the stage for us to absorb the personal stories of a collection of accomplished, often ceiling-breaking, executives and celebrities. With cogent, richly textured stories, these mothers reveal how they tried to prepare their daughters for lives of equal respect from others and unfettered, self-actualizing achievement. The narrators chosen to perform their stories are unfailingly true to the spirit of this book, and well matched to the thoughtful women whose stories they render.
