Her Story presents a kaleidoscope of views on women, by women.This is a priceless treasury of essays covering a broad spectrum of topics which impact women, from mothering and careers to finance and sexuality. The authors reflect the diversity and vibrancy of women in Singapore today, representing a wide range of backgrounds and personal values. Together, they encompass five decades in age, and offer a composite portrait of women in Singapore in the 21st century.Marking the 25th Anniversary of the Singapore Council of Women's Organizations, this publication is both informative and thought provoking, and sets the stage for further discussion and exploration of women's concerns and aspirations.
