Wonderful stories about wonderful woman

I really enjoyed this book about so many strong women. It describes so well many war torn and poverty stricken areas, and the women who overcame the living conditions there. The author delineates how she and others (mostly women, but there were some men also) tried to teach and assist women with family planning and infant care in some areas of the world where these ideas aren't always popular. I like the layout of many short stories opposed to one large book, which in this day and age most of us don't have the time to read. If you like stories about women overcoming opposition, I believe that you should definitely give this a read!
