The Woman I Wanted to Be

by Diane von Furstenberg

"Von Furstenberg reflects on her extraordinary life from childhood in Brussels to her days as a young, jet-set princess, to creating the dress that came to symbolize independence and power for an entire generation of women, ... [mining] the rich territory of what it means to be a woman. She opens up about her family and career, overcoming cancer, building a global brand, and devoting herself to empowering other women, writing, 'I want every woman to know that she can be the woman she wants to be'"--

This review was originally posted on The Bumbling Bookworm

The Woman I Wanted to Be is a fast-paced and interesting read, and it is a must for women seeking to build their identity. In it, Diane von Furstenberg (or DVF as she's otherwise known) is all about female empowerment and carving her identity. This doesn't happen once or at one particular time in her life, it in fact happens many times over the course of her life thus far.
