Women Of Substance - Profiles of Asian Women In The UK

Many Asian women are now making their mark in such diverse fields as Politics, Business, Media and the Arts and Academia.

This book profiles these very special women, ranging from shop floor trade union activists to successful business women, consultants, painters and writers. All have been inspired by the need to shatter stereotypes by breaking through the "glass ceiling" of inequality.

The Asian women profiled here are incontestable role models for their peer groups and the younger generation.

More than 200 entries are included in this celebration of the achievements of Asian women in the UK.
