Publisher's Synopsis
Badass Women of Charlottesville shares the personal stories of two dozen women, as told to Rachael Kesler Palm. Here, you'll find stories from some of the trailblazing women who make Charlottesville the vibrant, diverse, and welcoming community that it is. These women are overcoming trauma, grief, and obstacles, building a stronger community through their personal and professional work, and evolving unapologetically-while setting and accomplishing massive goals.
These are not the traditional stories of Charlottesville's white-washed, mostly male history. These stories are uniquely feminine and deal with many of the universal themes that all women grapple with throughout their lives: family, health & wellbeing, activism & community building, grief & love. The women who share their stories comprise a diverse set of voices and perspectives, including many from the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. This book is by, for, and about strong women.
