Excerpts from the Book:

International Correspondent Clarissa Ward Witnesses History On All Fronts

Stories connect us. They give voice to the voiceless,
get people to care, to change things and
to make a positive difference.

20 Women Storytellers, The Women’s Eye

Many times it takes enormous determination and courage in the face of fear and uncertainty. Leading is about passion. Stand up and do it if something needs changing.

Holly Gordon, Producer Girl Rising

“The pictures, the words and the images from 20 of the best. You can feel the inspiration here brilliantly captured by Burke and Caso. This is great reading and worth every minute of your time.”

“What can top a great story? Hearing these women tell their stories behind the stories. They pursue them with clear-headed drive, honesty, and compassion.

“I came away with a renewed sense of wanting to do and be more.”

“If you have a story to tell, look no further than these women’s examples; ones that have given voice to those who don’t, and in the process, have made a difference.”

20 Women Storytellers is one-stop shopping for women spotlighting
the truth while sharing their talent of the journalist’s pen,
the photographer’s eye or the documentarian’s lens.

“If you are passionate about leading, teaching, selling, entertaining,
reporting or causing change, storytelling can give you power.”

Believe in your dream, be fearless about going to a place where you don’t know what’s going to happen and realize that perfectly ordinary people can play a part in making the world a better place.

There is nothing more inspiring to me than to
hear the stories of women from around the world, leading from
a place of confidence and purpose to create change.

I was on five continents and everywhere I saw the same thing–
energetic, effective grandmothers doing important work.

Being a nurse, a wife, and parent with young kids, and with no background in philanthropy, it would have scared me to death. I wouldn’t have started had I not had some grand, huge vision.
