To enable women to target their desires and pursue their dreams, this informative volume provides inspiration from celebrities who have battled the odds and achieved their goals -- stars like Goldie Hawn, Tina Turner, Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters, and Sophia Loren -- as well as drawing upon the experiences of less famous but equally exemplary women. Not only defining the anxieties that hold women back from fully realizing their capabilities, the book also features questionnaires to help them define their aspirations, positive steps to aid in their attainment, and affirmations to reinforce the value and validity of accomplishment. Recommended readings at the end of each chapter provide sources for further exploration of the sites on this dearly mapped road for women who want a fuller, more rewarding and exhilarating life without sacrificing their families or their femininity.
