Angella Nazarian

“In this tribute to 20 visionaries Angella Nazarian illuminates the power and potential of women through the mesmerizing stories of these groundbreakers and harbingers of change. The subjects of this great collection have hurdled gender, ideological or creative barriers, while others tested the limits of socioeconomic or racial boundaries. Through lively and probing portraits she reveals the unique personality and passion of each woman, describing their motivations and life’s work. You will most likely be familiar with some of these women; others may be new to you, and make you wonder how in the world you never heard of them. They offered radically new ways of seeing the world and as a result their work and legacy have brought about ripples of change that we all benefit from today.” — Tina Brown, Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek and The Daily Beast

“Many women have shown us that they can conquer all odds and succeed in the fields of their choice.  These twenty visionary women exemplify the power, the spirit, the creativity and the persistence of the true “pioneer woman.”” — Martha Stewart

“I’ve always believed every woman needs a network of supportive women friends — what I call your fearless tribe. And “Pioneers of the Possible,” with its intimate portraits of accomplished women, is like a fearless tribe between covers.
