Secrets of the World’s Inspirational Women
Barbara Follett is one of the women featured in Confessions to a Serial Womaniser: Secrets of the World’s Inspirational Women. Author and social campaigner Zerbanoo Gifford met and documented the lives and careers of hundreds of inspirational women, from 60 countries and every field of endeavour. Women who have excelled whether it be in the world of business or government, the arts or science, academia or religion.
In the first venture of its kind, the book contains the wisdom of over 200 of the world’s most dynamic women, who speak frankly about everything: their mothers, families, education, men, gurus, love, feminism, fairy stories, failures and successes. In an era that worships celebrity, this is a celebration of true celebrities – women who will leave a lasting legacy enriching the lives of future generations.
Each woman featured has been captured in a set of specially commissioned portraits by the artist Jeroo Roy, in a series Women – a world of inspiration. The 208 paintings will go on view at the National Portrait Gallery from 17th September 2007 for one week and then go on a national and international tour.
The proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the ASHA Centre, a charity fostering greater peace and understanding amongst diverse communities, especially the young. Located in the Royal Forest of Dean, the ASHA Centre is a retreat that encourages community participation through a holistic programme of performing and visual arts, conservation projects and personal transformation.
