What I Told My Daughter: Lessons from Leaders on Raising the Next Generation of Empowered Women

In What I Told My Daughter, entertainment executive Nina Tassler has brought together a powerful, diverse group of womenâ€”from Madeleine Albright to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, from Dr. Susan Love to Whoopi Goldbergâ€”to reflect on the best advice and counsel they have given their daughters either by example, throughout their lives, or in character-building, teachable moments between parent and child.

A college president teaches her daughter, by example, the importance of being a leader who connects with everyoneâ€”from the ground up, literallyâ€”in an organization. A popular entertainer and former child star urges her daughter to walk in her own truth, to not break glass ceilings if she yearns to nurture a family as a stay-at-home mother or to abandon a career if thatâ€™s her calling. One of the countryâ€™s only female police chiefs teaches her daughter the meaning of courage, how to respond to danger but more importantly how not to let fear stop her from experiencing all that life has to offer. A bestselling writer who has deliberated for years on empowering girls, wonders if weâ€™re unintentionally leading them to believe they can never make mistakes, when â€œresiliency is more important than perfection.â€
