Pre-order your copy of Daring to Dream today!

Here at Jeannette Rankin Foundation, we are anxiously awaiting the release of our anthology, Daring to Dream: Women Succeeding Through Education. Edited by Sue Lawrence and Suzi Wong, the book recounts the fascinating stories of 30 JRF scholars, told by the women themselves. Each of the book's five chapters features a different uplifting theme: "I've Waited Long Enough," "Overcoming Obstacles," "The Power of Education," "Giving Back" and "Changing Myself and My World." A history of Jeannette Rankin Foundation, written by founder Gail Dendy, is also included.

Daring to Dream makes a wonderful gift and, of course, proceeds will help to further an important cause. The book will be available for purchase later this month, but we are currently accepting pre-orders on both our limited edition hardcover ($26.70, signed by the editors) and our softcover edition ($16). All pre-orders will receive free shipping.

To Order: e-mail info@rankinfoundation.org with your name, number of copies (and hardcover/ softcover specifications) and shipping information. We would also be happy to take your order by phone, at (706) 208-1211.

As the release date of Daring to Dream rapidly approaches, please stay tuned for information on upcoming launch events, including book signings and more!
