Produktbeschreibung

Snatched from the midst of a dog fight among "horsey-dogs" when she was four years old, a little Minnesota girl finds her voice by owning her differences and standing up for her beliefs. But how did she navigate from the Midwest to Wall Street Megacases, to Motherhood and back, and through Medical Miracles? What motivated this unworldly, mid-century, mid-American to take such bold tacks, confront gender prejudices and odds against her, and reinvent herself at every turn?

Uncharted Waters: Inspired by the Seemingly Impossible details Ann's personal journey through Minnesota and the Midwest: from a childhood fascination with challenge, to high school advice always to reach up, to collegiate honors in male-dominated majors and as one of the few student presenters at the first Earth Day, through law school and Law Review in a class that was only 6% female, and then to a coveted federal appellate clerkship among the first females to so serve. It is a journey of adrenaline, perseverance, and reinvention … a journey on Uncharted Waters that was motivated by a secondborn's desire to know "why", ability to adapt, and resolve for self-sufficiency. Strengthened by setbacks that motivated her to reach higher, she repeatedly witnessed, then pursued, the "seemingly impossible" - an empowering mindset that, along with good humor and wit, ultimately steered her through a multiplicity of firsts.

Autorenporträt

ANN M. GALVANI is a reformed Minnesotan and retired complex litigation attorney whose Wall Street career began at Cravath, Swaine & Moore (where she was one of the few women attorneys in the early 1970's) and concluded at Boies, Schiller & Flexner (where she was one of the first women equity partners). During her legal career, she defended multinational corporations on high profile litigations and was named one of the country's top women lawyers in The Vault's "View from the Top: Advice from Legal Woman Leaders."

Between those two career frontiers, Ann took a different tack more compatible with raising her two children, taking on pro bono and political commitments that led to new experience in law, finance, and public policy. Alongside the joy of family life during this interlude, she cultivated a passion for jewelry a passion that survived a major theft, two medical tsunamis, and financial setbacks. Weathering those storms enabled her to rebuild four separate jewelry collections from scratch truly the silver lining in those clouds.

But as it turns out, bad weather makes great stories. Learn the backstories, mysteries, and fantasies about Ann's quest to restore her lost treasures (and stories she has learned along the way) and read as theft, exploitation, and a con-artist heist unfold with poignancy, drama, and humor. The Jewels of My Life ... and Other Mysteries is sure to captivate your fantasy, challenge your deductive skills, or shock your sensibilities. Indeed, join the conversation, if you please, on twitter or email, because doesn't every jewelry-lover have a yarn to add?

Ann's larger journey through life is recounted in the Uncharted Waters series that describes how this secondborn, inspired in childhood to reach higher, regularly encountered and then pursued the "seemingly impossible." Along with perseverance and good humor, that mindset empowered her from the Midwest, to Wall Street, to Motherhood and Politics, and back, through Glass Ceilings, to Medical Miracle, and produced a Life Master, an Author, and more.
