Poderosas: Conversations with Extraordinary Women is a book of stories that takes place between psychologist and human rights activist, Dr. Lisette Garcia, her husband, Barrett Martin, and 12 extraordinary women. Each is highly accomplished in their field, none have sought fame, yet each has made an indelible mark on their respective communities. These conversations take place in sometimes unusual locations, as these women describe their work and life experiences: A pediatrician at a Texas barbeque, and indigenous healer during a sweat lodge ceremony, two shaman in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest, an anthropologist in a noisy New York restaurant, an indigenous professor in her cozy Alaskan home, a Zen master in her Hollywood Zendo, mothers in their homes near the Mexico border and the Pacific Northwest, a modern dancer in a New York studio, an artist in her pick up truck, speeding across the New Mexico desert. Each of these stories show how powerful a woman can when she embraces her circumstances, envisions her life, and then transforms herself in a Poderosa - a powerful woman, who effects real change in her corner of the world.
