Tamara "Tami" Patzer has interviewed hundreds of women in the past year and in "Self Made Women: The Feminine Journey to Success," she asks them questions about how they have become leaders and achieved success in their lives. In the foreword, World Leader Bonnie Fatio writes: Meet seven bold and courageous innovators, self-made women acting on their dreams. Each aspires to positively transform lives of others in unique and in less singular ways. These women speak to you.
