1 Piece of Advice is an inspired and inspiring book written by cousins Patricia Moser-Stern and Barbara Moser that tells the stories of 48 women around the world who have blazed trails in their chosen fields despite the odds. If someone asked you to give a single piece of advice to a daughter, a niece, a cousin, a granddaughter or a colleague, what would you say? Be an astronaut, a bishop, a general, an entrepreneur? In this handsome, beautifully-produced coffee-table entry, there are as many opinions as there are successful women.
