EDITED BY JOHANNA McCLOY
This book celebrates women’s stories of personal daring in all aspects of life: at home, at work, or at play. Their stories will lift your spirit, warm your heart, and make you laugh.
Daring stories in this book include climbing Everest; canceling a wedding; driving in New York City; devoting full-time to activism; traveling solo to another country; getting sober after years of hidden alcoholism; joining a top-rated TV comedy writing team; swimming topless . . . and many more.
“The essays are both hilarious and moving. There is no pretension here: Becoming fabulous is within reach of us all . . . Their message is urgent—be you. Nothing is more important.” ~ Ms. Magazine
“This book holds together the power women find when they are honest and courageous. Some of these stories moved me to tears, others made me believe in humanity again, many I could identify with. This book brought me tremendous joy, insight and brought me back to believe in the human spirit.” ~ Julianna Margulies, multiple award-winning actor and author of Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life
Consider the Dare to be Fabulous Journal Notebook as a companion for the many writing prompts in the book. Together, they make a beautiful set.
