Every page invites readers into the lives of these leaders, dreamers, and change-makers who have overcome obstacles, redefined success, and embraced their true selves with resilience and wisdom. This book is a tribute to the beauty of reinvention and a reminder that no matter our age, we are never done becoming.
This isn’t just about surviving challenges; it’s about thriving through them. In these stories, you’ll see how women from diverse backgrounds—CEOs, creators, activists, and visionaries—have found renewed purpose and created powerful new chapters in their lives. "A Chapter After 40" shines a light on the strength it takes to redefine oneself and the incredible journeys that can unfold at any age.
All proceeds from "A Chapter After 40" will go toward MiSiLe (Millet Sisters League), a groundbreaking global initiative founded by Vishala Reddy to empower rural women in their battle against climate change and malnutrition. Rooted in the dryland farming community of Rayalaseema, Andhra Pradesh, India, MiSiLe helps grassroots women build sustainable, resilient communities. Each book sold supports these women in creating lasting solutions for their families and their land, bridging the global gap between readers and a powerful cause.
Discover the hard-won wisdom of women who have faced life’s toughest trials and come out stronger. Each story reveals profound lessons on resilience that resonate deeply with anyone on their own journey.
Age is no barrier to change—it’s an invitation. Through personal narratives, these leaders show us that the most powerful transformations come when we’re bold enough to redefine who we are and who we want to be.
As they navigate new horizons, each contributor inspires readers to see life after 40 as a canvas of opportunity, a chapter where they are in full control of their story.
