Inspiring, well written book that introduces the reader to the many talented Latina women from all walks of life. What I like best about this book is that many of the Latinas the author mentions are still alive, making the book current and interesting. Since reading the book, I've met some of the women highlighted and it gave me a thrill! ( ) no reviews | add a review
