Still I Rise takes its title from a work by Maya Angelou
and it resonates with the same spirit of an unconquerable soul, a
woman who is captain of her fate. This book embodies the strength
of character of the inspiring women profiled within. Each chapter
outlines the fall and rise of great women heroes who smashed all
obstacles, rather than let all obstacles smash them.
