“Girls Be Ambitious: 21 words for those who want to take the next step”(Reprinted from Shueisha International website)

More than 35 years have passed since the Equal Employment Opportunity Law was enacted in Japan in 1985, but there are countless social issues surrounding women. As shown by this, the gender gap index ranks 120th out of 156 countries (2021). While increasing awareness of diversity is attracting attention, it is still difficult to say that misogyny and oppression have been eliminated compared to other countries.

However, even in such difficult circumstances, there are many women who not only carve out a path for themselves in life, but also sometimes break from conventional wisdom and influence the course of society. Their words resonate in our hearts, sometimes powerfully, sometimes deeply. If you are at a crossroads in your life, are worried because things aren't going well, are having difficulty living, or are feeling anxious and lack courage, this book will give you energy and suggestions. I'm sure you'll give it to me.

This book collects 21 quotes from 19 women who are active in various fields. I would be happy if I could give you a push, even just a little bit.
