from Dann at Home

The 19 outstanding contemporary Hoosier women profiled by Michael S. Maurer--one for each star in the Indiana state flag---are leaders and pioneers who have excelled in a variety of pursuits including law, business, philanthropy, government, medicine, music, art, athletics, religion and education. All worked hard, and with zeal, to achieve their dreams. Women of every generation will enjoy and appreciate their stories.

"Many of the women profiled here lived heart-pounding lives. Each has a unique story. Yet, in spite of the wide diversity, there are common threads. All Fully embraced opportunities, regardless of the difficulty. As Sylvia McNair says in her profile, 'Take the leap and the net will appear'. I hope readers of this volume will be inspired by the special lives and 'take the leap'. Mickey Maurer
