Wings. All women come into this world with the potential to grow them. Some women let prejudice, discrimination, manipulation, or the expectations of others thwart their development. Other women, however, draw on an iron inner strength to unfold their potential and transform themselves.

On Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 2:00 p.m., Birute Regine will autograph her book, Iron Butterflies: Women Transforming Themselves and the World, and give a lecture on "iron butterflies", women who find the inner strength to grow into their potential and transform themselves and the world without losing their femininity. In her book, readers become acquainted with a diverse group of women deploying the strength and power of feminine skills, whose accomplishments illustrate overarching themes so critical to women’s lives and to our times. They come from an astonishing range of experience; from all races, all walks of life, and every corner of the world.
