There is a long and sacred tradition of women inspiring other women — in overcoming seemingly impossible difficulties, in following dreams into uncharted territory, in rising to great heights of achievement, in finding spiritual and creative fulfillment. The World’s Best Advice From the World’s Wisest Women is a collection of wise advice, personal anecdotes, inspirational quotes, and comic one-liners, all celebrating what women learn from one another.

Author B. J. Gallagher also shares stories about the many women who have taught her—from grandmothers to actresses to politicians to shopkeepers. Topics include work, friendship, love, money, motherhood, creativity, and happiness—everything a woman needs to know!
