In Search of Hope

During my research on social revolutionaries I was inspired by the likes of Mandela, Ghandi, Herzl & Che Guevara but what I found most fascinating was the individuals that have made a difference to their societies. Mariane Pearl's husband was murdered by Islamic extremist and after so much hatred she wanted to find hope in the world. She travelled across continents to meet extraordinary women who despite hardship, poverty and disease have transformed their communities. In this book she revealed never before seen pictures and stories from her travels.
These stories are not only inspiring to me but also reassuring that their are people out there who are actualizing their dreams for change.
