Title: The Counselors: Conversations With 18 Courageous Women Who Have Changed the World by Elizabeth Vrato, Bill Clinton ISBN: 0-7624-1215-1 Publisher: Running Press Book Publishers Pub. Date: 01 February, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |

Summary: The Counselors: Conversations With 18 Courageous Women...
Comment: I found The Counselors to be an approachable and personal vehicle for learning about 18 (potentially intimidating) women within a single volume. I particularly like it because of its conversational style. I have read biographies of some of the women included in this book (and enjoyed them). I found that this book adds to the feminist discourse by presenting a new perspective that speaks to readers like myself and also to those who are just becoming interested in law, women's studies or government. I would recommend this to readers already privileged enough to be a part of an academic discussion of feminism and to less traditional audiences who are looking for a way to learn about women in law/government and perhaps be inspired to pursue a career in these or other fields that might appear intimidating.

Summary: Getting Personal
Comment: Each chapter of 'The Counselors' provides an insightful discussion with a woman who has forged her way through a traditionally male field. The reader learns not only the woman's resume, but also her personal thoughts on her struggles, successes and failures. Vrato is a talented author and 'The Counselors' is extremely well-written. I would recommend this book not only to the established professional woman who can relate to the Counselors' stories, but also to young women just starting out in their careers as an inspiration for their professional lives ahead. This book is well worth the read and (in light of the topic and format) would make an excellent graduation gift.

Summary: Inspiration
Comment: Please don't start reading this book with expectations of knowing each of these wonderful women's life details. It is an vague exploration of the paths that each woman's life took.
I have to say I was inspired to start a monthly bruncheon with local women leaders and young women. It starts next month and am very excited about what I got out of the book to make things happen in my own area.
This book leads you to make a difference in your community!
