Summary

What do girls really need to succeed? As a student at the all-girls Baldwin School outside of Philadelphia, Porges was raised in a community designed to produce strong, independent women. Here she shows how small moments and turning points in her early education gave her the tools she would eventually sharpen and deploy to excel in areas that were traditionally perceived as being part of "a man's world." The ways we define leadership are changing, and the women now stepping into leadership roles are mapping new paths to inhabiting traits such as grit, resilience, audacity, and self-confidence. -- adapted from publisher info
