tirelessly turned to the poem Invictus. The
inspirational verse by the Victorian William Ernest Henley,
penned on the occasion of the amputation of his leg.
Still I Rise takes its title from a work by Maya
Angelou and it resonates with the same spirit of an
unconquerable soul, a woman who is captain of her fate. Just
as Invictus brought solace to generations so does the
contemporary classic. Still I Rise embodies the
strength of character of the inspiring women profiled. Each
