What Women Really Want

With Mother's Day just a few days away, we thought it'd be the perfect time to share this excerpt from BJ Gallagher's book, "The World's Best Advice from the World's Wisest Women," featuring quotes and famous sayings from women throughout history. 

From Helen Keller to Madonna, the book is divided into sections based on the many issues females face, like Work Life, Love and Marriage, Creativity and Self-Expression, along with Motherhood and Family.

What do women really want? According to BJ Gallagher, it's success. Here's how she spells it:

Self-acceptance and self-love

Unconditional love of family & friends

Contribution and service to others

Commitment to integrity & authenticity

Excellence in achievement

Serenity, security, & sanity (about money)

Spiritual growth and inner peace

How do you define success?

In The World's Best Advice from the World's Wisest Women, BJ Gallagher compiles quotes from powerful, successful and humorous ladies that continue to inspire females at every stage of their lives.
