Activist and Harvard graduate student Paula Goldman asked women between 20 and 40 years of age to respond to the question: "What defines your generation of women?" She describes them as "the most educated, most well-traveled, most professionally empowered, most international generation of women ever to have existed on this planet." This visually fascinating anthology contains the responses of 105 women from 57 countries on bringing our values to life, creating community, immigration and identity, beauty and ethnicity, creating peace, and many other topics.

The paperback, which was partly sponsored by the International Museum of Women in San Francisco, is spiced up with photography, paintings, poetry, fiction, songs, and essays contributed by the women. In her foreword, novelist Isabel Allende says: "I am startled by the assured attitude of these young women, their creative force, and their capacity for leadership. . .Nothing can stop them." This is the kind of resource that gives hope to those who believe change is in the air and a better world can emerge from hard work, enthusiasm, and idealism.
