Women Runners will illuminate and inspire any runner-man or woman-and send them out the door for a few more miles of sweat and illumination.Irene Reti began running in early 1996 and has completed four marathons. Herein are stories about women running through pregnancy, running out their grief at the loss of loved ones, running a first marathon, running without fear, taking up running in midlife, running a 100-mile race, running naked stories about running and love, and a high school girl finding her identity and strength through running.Running shapes one's life to its very foundation, and these stories and essays all celebrate its power to radically transform and empower. The runners depicted cover the whole range of women-young and old, single and married, gay and straight, fast and slow, casual runners and fierce.These are not profiles of elite runners or Olympic personalities-they are moving works of literature about ordinary people achieving something extraordinary in their lives. It is a perfect paired volume with The Runner's Literary Companion-the art of writing seeking to comprehend the ineffable, incomparable nature of running. These all-new works, solicited from published authors, run the gamut from humorous to serious to sad, from poetry to fiction to essay. This anthology by and about women runners truly captures the essence of running, and the spirit and dreams of women. The title of Doris Kearns Goodwin's book is Leadership. In today’s polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency. This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose.

No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Johnson (in civil rights) - to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders. In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely - Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. In this culmination of five decades of acclaimed studies in presidential history, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin offers an illuminating exploration into the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership.Īre leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? (Carroll's Land of Laughs comes to mind as a better use of the same potential.) Story padding, flat characters and pompous style further sap the vitality of what could have been a much more interesting novel. The comparison of imagination, magic and madness has rich potential for a novelist but it is mostly squandered here. The book tilts towards madness as the explanation for the strange coincidences noticed by its hero, and the story culminates with a murder. A love story with interlocking romantic triangles provides most of the plot. Is he going mad? Or does this represent a real erosion of metaphysical boundaries? A meditation on the nature of literary creation thus provides the theme. Soon he finds his fictional characters appearing in his real life. The book alternates between his diary entries and the chapters in his emerging novel. A hen-pecked and idle husband, kept by a rich wife, takes action when she taunts him that he is so incompetent he couldn't shine shoes, carry a sandwich board, or even write pulp fiction.
