About the Book
Women have a vision; a calling, or an inner guidance that drives them into areas that were once, and in many cases still is, forbidden for their gender. These women move forward with a determination that defies injury and even death. They want equal representation and fair treatment for all, not just women. Some women say they’ve heard voices; some say they were called, and others say they had a vision. These women stand up and seek change, why? Does a mythical goddess have a part in women’s determination? Do motivational theories define women leaders’ behavior? This study evaluated the struggles women encountered to mold, shape, and influence their actions. The data for this research has been obtained from biographies, articles, historical data and personal interviews. This research explores why women have an unexplainable drive to reach their full potential. From this research, women should be reinvigorated and inspired to understand that their visions and their callings are real. Women must learn to live for their purpose and continue to share their innate gifts and talents. Women are created for a purpose, and with God given assignments.
