Description: What inspired the women who pioneered diplomatic service throughout this century? What personality traits did they share? How successful were they? What obstacles did they face in their male-dominated profession? How did they influence foreign policy? In this fascinating and unique oral history of women ambassadors, Ann Miller Morin answers these questions and many more.

She presents and interprets intensive candid interviews with fifteen high-profile women ambassadors, representing a range of experiences within varied administrative, cultural, and historical contexts.
