Journalist Diana Kapp has crisscrossed this country writing for and about empowered girls, girls who expect to be leaders, founders and inventors. This book takes it a step further. It says to girls: while you’re striving to be CEOs and world leaders, consider solving the biggest challenge of our lifetime, too—because you can do both at the same time, and here are 34 women doing just that.

SO FUN, INFORMATIVE, AND INSPIRING!

I enjoyed this book so much! I was expecting a somewhat dry account of sustainable businesses, but no. The quick charming personal profiles engaged me with these women as quirky interesting REAL people. Each chapter was a story with an arc I wanted to follow. I found myself sneaking out for yet another dog walk to listen again (did I mention the narrator is perfect?).
The information is presented in a way that's relevant to each story and more understandable and memorable in context of the story. There were so many fascinating nuggets, I found myself jotting down notes after each story. And at the end I'm fired up with hope that literally anyone can make a difference in saving the planet in their own unique way, no background required. The advice at the end is perfect and I think I already have ideas on the right direction for me,
