My Inspirational Woman
Who inspires us? Students from The Young Women's Leadership School in the Bronx answer this question in this compelling collection of stories.

A Wonder Woman is someone who guides you, inspires you to be a better person, and tries to protect you from harm. These are the qualities that we encountered throughout our time with them.
