How far have women come to close the gender gap? The introduction provides facts about how much progress women really have made. Were the “olden days” really that good? Is history relevant today? If not, why do we sometimes feel like we are going backwards? And why tell the stories? So young women can learn through listening to the stories that you sometimes have to fight through the bad times to get to the best moments of your life. We want them to realize that, even in the face of gender, racial or cultural discrimination, even when there is no clear path ahead, there is a whole world of possibility out there for them, that they can continue to dream, that they can succeed, and that they have it in them to do it.
