Title: Powerful Women - Léa Salamé - book
Summary :
"Women are said to be beautiful, charming, piquant, delightful, intelligent, lively, sometimes tough, manipulative, or mean. 'Hysterical' when angry. 'Pushy' when successful. But they are rarely said to be powerful.
In a man, power is legitimate. In a woman, it seems suspect, unnatural. I wanted to know why, and I began a journey into the mysteries of feminine power.
We build ourselves by confronting lives other than our own. I met women whose courage, freedom, and singularity I admired. Writer, doctor, politician, business leader, rabbi, athlete, young or old, right-wing or left-wing... they all have one thing in common: their inner strength and their influence in society, in a word, their power. They transformed me, profoundly. They shattered my prejudices. But above all, like many listeners, they did me good.
