Making It In High Heels Book + DVD
Making it in High Heels, an uplifting and inspiration collection of writing by women held its launch party at C Lounge in Toronto on August 25. The book, which is published by Burman Books, was written by 39 women from all over North America and its stories are comparable to the Chicken Soup for the Soul franchise. The writers come from very different backgrounds, ranging from “small-town girls” to daughters of environmental activists to former Degrassi actress, Andrea Lewis, who talked about her career.
While writers represented a variety of different careers, the industries these women are involved in are not diverse enough. None of the writers seemed to be from historically male-dominated careers such as medicine, law and finance, or at least didn’t discuss it. But at the same time, these women weren’t old-line debutantes either. One writer is Emily Hunter, a second generation environmental activist. There were also other stories that involved women who come from challenging lives, including teen mothers, victims of abuse and so forth.
Includes a special release DVD with interviews and more!
