The following are some of history’s most inspirational women recommended by Therese Borchard.
Who Was Mother Teresa ? ¥66.00
Born in Macedonia, Mother Teresa(1910—1997)taught at St. Mary’s High School, in Calcutta, India, but was forced to do something about the suffering and poverty. In 1950 she founded the Missionaries of Charity. Although her devotion to the poor is inspiring, it’s her persistence(坚持不懈)through years of doubt, as recorded in her private journals, that inspired me the most.
The Diary of a Young Girl ¥55.10
In The Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank (1929—1945) documented her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944 during the German Occupation of the Netherlands. She is a role model of honesty, strength, and hope for me — that even in the most miserable circumstances, you can lead with love.
A Life of Discovery ¥111.10
“Do one thing every day that scares you,” wrote Eleanor Roosevelt (1884—1962). She had a lot to choose from, as her life was full of challenges. Eleanor inspires me to bravely deal with problems that matter to me, and to find her way through life’s trials and hardships with gracefulness and determination.
Story of My Life ¥32.50
A deaf-blind author from Alabama, Helen Keller (1880—1968) provides a powerful example of a woman through two major disabilities to achieve a meaningful life. “We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world,” she said. Her attitude of hope and optimism inspires me to use my suffering to become a better and wiser person, to go beyond my pain into service of others.
