If you could send a letter back through time to your younger self,
what would the letter say?
In this moving collection, forty-one famous women write letters to the women they once were, filled with advice and insights they wish they had had when they were younger.
Today show correspondent Ann Curry writes to herself as a rookie reporter in her first job, telling herself not to change so much to fit in, urging her young self, "It is time to be bold about who you really are." Country music superstar Lee Ann Womack reflects on the stressed-out year spent recording her first album and encourages her younger self to enjoy the moment, not just the end result. "Your hair matters far, far less than you think" is the wry advice that bestselling mystery writer Lisa Scottoline pens to her twenty-year-old self. And Maya Angelou, leaving home at seventeen with a newborn baby in her arms, assures her- self she will succeed on her own, even if she does return home every now and then.
These remarkable women are joined by Madeleine Albright, Queen Noor of Jordan, Cokie Roberts, Naomi Wolf. Eileen Fisher, Jane Kaczmarek. Olympia Dukakis, Macy Gray and many others. Their letters contain rare glimpses into the personal lives of extraordinary women and powerful wisdom that readers will treasure.
Ellyn Spragins was most recently an editor at large for Fortune Small Business. She wrote the "Love and Money" column in the New York Times business section for three years. She first edited five of these letters for an issue of 0. The Oprah Magone. She lives in Pennington, New Jersey, with her family.
