Description: Courage has many faces. The women of these stories turn themselves inside-out to tell their stories, with heart & soul. This book explores the kinds of courage that is really undervalued in our culture; everyday courage. In Women of Courage more than 40 women tell intimate tales of bravery that expand the definition of courage. By writing about the times in their lives when they have been most in despair, and revealing the inner resources that helped them survive, these strong women inspire readers to recognize their own acts of courage.
