This book highlights the lives of 28 women who were war survivors, community leaders, entrepreneurial pioneers, exceptional educators, and catalysts for change within the island.

Special sections within the book include the historical roles of women, folktales, and a portion of the inaugural address of Guam’s first female governor, Maga’haga Lourdes Leon Guerrero.
