Thanks a lot for the well elucidated artices,illustrating how women have come to the top. I am sure this will definately be an encouraging article which will go a long way in making we "women" realizt that we are indeed "Shakti"...meaning power...asis depicted by the great epics of Indian sprituality.

I may have had an easier time dealing with this fear because my first taste of leadership came in a situation in which I was a blissfully ignorant outsider. It was in college, when I became president of the Cambridge Union debating society. Since I had grown up in Greece, I had never heard of the Cambridge or Oxford Union and didn't know about their place in English culture, so I wasn't weighed down.
The same thing happened when my first book, "The Female Woman," came out. I was 23 and my U.S. publisher, Random House, scheduled my first interview with Barbara Walters on the "Today" show. This didn't faze me since I had no idea who Barbara Walters was, and had never heard of the "Today" show.
It might look like I've had a number of careers. But the heart of it has always been communicating. A big part of my personal evolution has come from responding to the way our world is changing. I first fell in love with what was happening online when I recognized its power to empower people who might otherwise be locked out of the national conversation.
I don't think anything I've done in my life would have been possible without my mother. She gave me what I am hoping to give my daughters, which is a sense that I could aim for the stars combined with the knowledge that if I didn't reach them, she wouldn't love me any less. She helped me understand that failure was part of any life.

Actor
When I connect to my soul, project it into another character and then bring it to the stage or to a film—that has always been for me the great joy of acting. It's been as if my soul kind of leaps out of my body and is able to be free and dance around. And that's always this image I've had when I'm really loving the acting process.
