Welcome to the website for my upcoming book, that will honor 100 successful women who are making strides and changing lives.

The women will come from dozens of industries: actors, advocates, artists, athletes, authors, aviators, chefs, curators, doctors, educators, engineers, financiers, fitness gurus, inventors, moms, musicians, politicians, religious leaders, scientists, and more. They all have one thing in common: They have a dream and have worked hard to make it come to fruition. With grace and humility, they are willing to share the secrets of their success with the rest of us.

How are you amazing? I am on the lookout for Truly Amazing Women — and I need your help! Publicists, bosses, daughters, fathers, sons, husbands, uncles, aunts and friends — and the women themselves — are invited to submit a proposal. I want to share your accomplishments with the world. Hundreds of women will be profiled on this website. Later this year, a select group of savvy gals will jury in the 100 women for the book.

In advance, I thank you for your time and assistance and I look forward to hearing your stories!

Meet Some of our Truly Amazing Women

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Who she is: US Rep. from the 20th Congressional District who represents Miami-Dade / Broward County, Florida

What she does: Works to pass legislation that favors children, education, health care, Social Security, Medicare and homeland security.

Why she does it: “It is said that I arrived in Washington with the reputation as a force to be reckoned with,” says Debbie, who was sworn in as a member of the House on January 4, 2005. “I hope to continue to be known as a person whose word is her bond and who knows that she was sworn in to work hard in Washington for her constituents.”

Red Cross' Gail McGovern

Who she is: President and CEO of the American Red Cross

What she does: When Gail McGovern took over as president of the Red Cross last year, the former AT&T vp had no idea she’d have to deal with the aftermath of eight hurricanes and tropic storms, a record tornado season, and the worst flooding in the Midwest in 15 years.

Why she does it: She did know that she was inheriting a $209 million operating deficit, a mandate from the Board of Governors to eliminate it within two years, and that she was the 10th person to take the helm of the PR-challenged agency in the last decade.

Publishers, Gooseberry Patch

Who they are: Founders of the multimillion-dollar cookbook company, Gooseberry Patch

What they do: Publish catalogs, comfort-food-friendly cookbooks, calendars and organizers to help busy women everywhere

Why they do it: “We try to give our customers a little more than they expect, and if we can continue to build a company that provides nice surprises and gives people a little comfort when they need it, I think we’ll have succeeded.”
