Description

While attending a volleyball tournament with her daughter, Nina was forced to face her own limitations.

Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor was scheduled to speak and the girls were all so excited to hear what she would have to say-not just as an icon of the sport that they all loved, but as a woman.

Nina realized that the absence of sports from her own girlhood meant that she didn't always know how to talk to her daughter about what it means to be a female athlete, or about how women could succeed in the often male-dominated field of sports.

Nina realized that her perspective on what feminism means-on what being a woman means-is singular, and informed by her own journey…and that perhaps other women-other mothers-had their own unique ways of talking about these issues with their own girls. And so What I Told My Daughter was born: a kaleidoscope of talented, successful women from all walks of life-from celebrities to business executives, academics to law enforcement to philanthropic and humanitarian leaders including Geena Davis, Brooke Shields, Norah O'Donnell, First Lady Laura Bush, Pat Benatar, Gloria Estefan, Christine Baranski, Sheila Bair, Peggy Orenstein, and Gloria Allred-share anecdotes about the stories they've told their own daughters to instill in them the belief that they are capable of doing whatever they set their mind to, and that even as they struggle to find their own way, they are far from alone.
