Powerful Women, Léa Salamé

"Women are said to be beautiful, charming, spirited, delightful, intelligent, lively, sometimes tough, manipulative, or mean. 'Hysterical' when they are angry. 'Ambitious climbers' when they succeed. But they are rarely said to be powerful.
In a man, power is legitimate. In a woman, it seems suspect, unnatural. I wanted to know why, and I embarked on a journey into the mysteries of female power.
We build ourselves by confronting lives other than our own. I met women whose courage, freedom, and uniqueness I admired. Writer, doctor, politician, business leader, rabbi, athlete, young or old, right-wing or left-wing... they all have one thing in common: their inner strength and their influence in society, in a word, their power. They transformed me deeply. They shattered my prejudices. But above all, like many listeners, they did me good."
