Wright, Michele R. (Author)

Written in the form of personal letters to other women, this book offers inspiration and words of wisdom
and encouragement from 85 accomplished women across a broad spectrum of demographics and
achievements. The book begins with a foreword by Camille Cosby, educator, philanthropist, and wife of
comedian Bill Cosby, as well as an interview with Gayle King, editor at large of O, The Oprah Magazine.
Among the contributors are educators Marva Collins and Johnetta B. Cole; entertainers Ruby Dee and
Patti LaBelle; children’s-rights advocate Marian Wright Edelman; first black female astronaut Mae C.
Jemison; businesswoman Leeann Chin; tennis pro Billie Jean King; civil-rights icon Rosa Parks; and
creator of Sesame Street, Joan Ganz Cooney. Editor Wright has her own inspirational story: despite a
learning disability that prevented her from speaking before the age of five, she went on to earn an
engineering degree and Ph.D. in public policy. Readers will find much inspiration and encouragement in
this collection of letters to those seeking their own sense of accomplishment and personal definition of
success.
