This inspiring and compelling narrative weaves together stories of sixty successful women from all walks of life and throughout the world. The author spent several years in eight countries interviewing dynamic female role models: businesswomen, CEOs, a Congresswoman, a governor, an ex-Prime Minister, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a winemaker, artists, doctors, nurses, and many others. The author calls these women "Iron Butterflies" because they meld a will of iron with the gentle, nurturing touch of a butterfly. With disarming candor, these women talk about their struggles, their fallibilities, and their strengths in the journey to the top of their professions. Forging their leadership from an amalgam of masculine and feminine skills, all of these Iron Butterflies have transformed themselves and in doing so they are contributing to a larger social transformation. A key to this personal and social transformation rests in their ability to address vulnerability in themselves and those around them, and transform it into a crucible of healing, growth, and innovation. Knowing how to deal with vulnerability, in ourselves and with others, evokes feminine skills and values and is a key to the societal change so many are seeking. Critiquing the command-and-control style of leadership, derived from the gladiator concept of male invulnerability, the author convincingly demonstrates how traditional feminine skills and values—such as inclusion, empathy, a holistic perspective, relational skills, and emotional strength—can be applied to empower more people than ever before. Like the sixty Iron Butterflies profiled, leaders in the 21st century will paradoxically embrace vulnerability and durability, creating better working and living relationships for us all.

Moreover, they said Amelia’s father was a bastard. Then came the news that her grandfather was indeed alive and ready to acknowledge Amelia’s legitimacy, and make her heiress to a great fortune in Germany. And so began a journey—a journey into horror and evil that would endanger Amelia and her fortune. Suddenly, she was trapped in a world of drugs and nightmares.

The true story of an elite group of men who wrote a page in Naval history. They patrolled the waterways in thirty-one foot river patrol boats powered by Detroit diesel engines with water jet-propulsion. Armed with machineguns and grenade launchers, as well as sheer guts and determination, these sailors faced danger around every bend in the river. Working together, they became one of the finest weapons in Admiral Zumwalt's arsenal for turning back the tide of communist infiltration into Saigon, taking control of the inland waterways. These are true accounts of their bravery, which they proved time and again by spearheading operations into enemy controlled territory. United together in brotherhood, they accomplished all their missions and won their part of the Vietnam War.

It is said the fluttering of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon forest will have an adverse effect, and cause a typhoon to form on the other side of the globe. The Iron Butterfly expounds this theory in the theatre of the Second World War... Lorient, France, 1944 - Captains Franz Bauer and Kurt Oblitz are on a secret mission to sail their U-boats to the Far East with a highly dangerous cargo. Germany would share their latest technology with Japan to create a unique weapon - the Uranium Bomb. Bauer faces emotional challenges, desperate for information on the whereabouts and well-being of his wife Anna and his young son in Germany. As the U-boats sail to their fate, Anna's bravery is tested to the limit. On the run from the atrocities of the war she eventually falls prey to the clutches of a Russian commander. A gripping and heart-rending story in which the futility of the sacrifice of war is dramatically and vividly described.

Had Elizabeth "Bess" Clements Abell (1933–2020) been a boy, she would likely have become a politician like her father, Earle C. Clements. Effectively barred from office because of her gender, she forged her own path by helping family friends Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson. Abell's Secret Service code name, "Iron Butterfly," exemplified her graceful but firm management of social life in the Johnson White House. After Johnson's administration ended, she maintained her importance in Washington, DC, serving as chief of staff to Joan Mondale and cofounding a public relations company. Donald A. Ritchie and Terry L. Birdwhistell draw on Abell's own words and those of others known to her to tell her remarkable story. Focusing on her years working for the Johnson campaign and her time in the White House, this engaging oral history provides a window into Abell's life as well as an insider's view of the nation's capital during the tumultuous 1960s.

Tom, a former piano student from a famous music conservatory, is far removed from the rugged world of cowboys, bucking bulls, and rodeos. Yet, with a headful of songs and a guitar -- and an itch to move around -- that is precicely where Tom lands:, as an entertainer on the rodeo circuit. But playing guitar in front of crowds of drunken cowpokes and cowgirls is far different than the situation in which he finds himself now -- on the back of a wild and wirey, half-brahma-half-buffalo bucking bull. A monstrous, freak of a bull that no-one has ever succesfully ridden. Meanwhile, the tiny, rough talking, Kathy Lee, a sexy rodeo queen, has taken a keen interest in Tom and won't take no for an answer. How could he know he would soon find himself chasing her kidnapper, a jealous suitor, across the desolate, unforgiving hill country? Written by "Deucalion" author Cecil Johnson, Iron Butterflies is a wonderful, nostalgic romp through the golden hey-days of American rodeo.
