What I Told My Daughter: Lessons from Leaders on Raising the Next Generation of Empowered Women

Description

In What I Told My Daughter, entertainment executive Nina Tassler has brought
together a powerful, diverse group of women—from Madeleine Albright to Ruth
Bader Ginsburg, from Dr. Susan Love to Whoopi Goldberg—to reflect on the best
advice and counsel they have given their daughters either by example,
throughout their lives, or in character-building, teachable moments between
parent and child. A college president teaches her daughter, by example, the
importance of being a leader who connects with everyone—from the ground up,
literally—in an organization. A popular entertainer and former child star
urges her daughter to walk in her own truth, to not break glass ceilings if
she yearns to nurture a family as a stay-at-home mother or to abandon a career
if that’s her calling. One of the country’s only female police chiefs teaches
her daughter the meaning of courage, how to respond to danger but more
importantly how not to let fear stop her from experiencing all that life has
to offer. A bestselling writer who has deliberated for years on empowering
girls, wonders if we’re unintentionally leading them to believe they can never
make mistakes, when “resiliency is more important than perfection.”
