Uninspired? Stressed? Depressed? Out of control? Author Becky Due Shares Her Inspiring Story and Simple Steps To Happiness "I remember walking the halls of hotels looking for uneaten food on room-service trays. I remember being too cold to sleep. I remember being so alone, desperately wanting somebody to talk to me, but being too afraid of anybody knowing the truth of my life," says Becky Due, author of "The Gentlemen's Club."

Every Girl Tells a Story: A Celebration of Girls Speaking Their Minds
Authors: Girl Scouts of the USA. Hardcover, 96 pagesPublisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Publication Date: 2002-03-01 Reviews :
Every girl tells a story. Every girl wants to be heard. Listen to these stories, look into these pictures, and be dazzled by American girls: "If your heart's in it, you'll keep going. Girls can do anything. Girls rule." "The best thing my parents have done for me is to show me that it's okay to be myself." "I'd like to open a clinic for women and children. That has always been my dream." Working in close collaboration with Girl Scouts of the USA, documentary photographer Carolyn Jones has captured in words and pictures a lasting portrait of eighty-five American girls -- the girls who are our future. As First Lady Laura Bush says in her foreword, "My hope for every girl, everywhere, is that she, too, will find her voice and achieve her dreams." This is a book for women of all ages, who will recognize the girls they once were and still can be. It is a book for fathers and mothers, who hear -- but may not always listen to -- what their daughters are saying. But most of all it is a book for girls, who will find themselves reflected in this joyous celebration of their complexity, depth, honesty, and glorious, soaring optimism....
Someday 12-year-old Olivia wants to open an orphanage for Chinese girls. Tamika, age 15, loves writing hip-hop songs. 17-year-old Valerie was afraid of heights until she decided to face her fears on an Outward Bound trip designed to help students stay in school. These girls, and more than 80 others, appear in a big, attractive volume of photo essays put together by documentary photographer Carolyn Jones in collaboration with the Girl Scouts of America. In stunning color and black-and-white photos, Jones creates illuminating portraits of the girls, but allows them to tell their stories with their own words. "I think we should just reach out to people," says Lauren. Erin says, "I've come this far and I can take anything that comes my way." And pithy Briana says, "Think big." The girls articulately and passionately speak their minds about volunteer work, family illness, racism, sports, education, homelessness, divorce, and their own remarkable accomplishments. Readers of all ages--male and female--will be inspired and heartened by this handsome celebration of the women of tomorrow. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter...

Nine and Counting: The Women of the Senate
Authors: Barbara Boxer. Susan Collins. Dianne Feinstein. The Usa Girl Scouts Of. Whitney Catherine. Paperback, 304 pagesPublisher: Harper Paperbacks Publication Date: 2001-08-01 Edition: 1 Reviews :
The Women of the United States Senate have forever changed the political landscape. Their backgrounds, personal styles, and political ideals may be as diverse as the nation they serve. Yet they share a commonality that runs deeper than politics or geography -- they desire to give a voice to all their constituents while serving as role models for women young and old. Once every month, these distinguished women for an informal dinner to share their knowledge, their hearts, and a good meal. Leaving behind partisanship and rhetoric, they discuss and debate the issues, both political and personal, affecting their lives. And following the 2000 election of four women to the Senate, the table is now set for thirteen. Weaving together their individual stories of triumph, adversity, adaptability, and leadership, Nine and Counting gives voice to these charismatic women as never before, offering a rare, insider's glimpse into Washington and sending the powerful message that membership in the "world's most exclusive club" is open to every woman in America. ...
It's hard to imagine nine United States senators whose politics span the spectrum sitting down to dinner together on a regular basis--unless they're the nine women who currently call the Senate home. Barbara Mikulski, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Patty Murray, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Mary Landrieu, and Blanche L. Lincoln share something deeper than their political proclivities: gender has been the strongest characteristic of their personal and professional lives, and each one has overcome enormous obstacles to reach the old boys' club that is the Senate. As evidence of their remarkable camaraderie, they've now collaborated to share their stories in the hopes of encouraging other women to follow suit. The women write with candor about dealing with sexual stereotypes, facing tragedies, and proving themselves in a world that presents them with an ever-shifting teeterboard of proper feminine behavior. Their stories range from surprising to shocking to illuminating. Included are Dianne Feinstein's account of the assassination of San Francisco mayor George Moscone and her unexpected rise to power, and the string of deaths that shaped Olympia Snowe into the independent person she is. The senators also share how they have balanced family with work, and in the process brought issues to the Senate floor not previously considered, such as child care, domestic violence, and homemaker retirement accounts (as well as the refreshing sight of small children). What is most impressive is their collaborative spirit, drawn from the traditional female training ground of local grass-roots endeavors and an emphasis on relationship and negotiation. When 64-year-old Barbara Boxer was born, becoming a senator was practically an unthinkable idea. Now, as the senior female senator, she welcomes each new woman who joins the ranks, whether Democrat or Republican, and teaches her the ropes. As partisan squabbles in Congress stymie any real progress, this book makes a strong case for the need for more women in positions of power and demonstrates that getting there is no longer a fantasy. --Lesley Reed ...
