诺贝尔和平将自从1901年开始至今只有16位女性得过。本书作者Supriya Vani是一位年轻的和平主义分子，在这本书中，她分享了这16位女性的故事、她们得奖的原因、她们一生的成就以及她们留下的智慧。她花了6年的时间写出这本书。
 
这一切的开始是在6年前，作者才21岁的时候有机会采访诺贝尔和平奖得主Aung San Suu Kyi。这个采访结束后，作者知道她必须把这位世界上最知名的和平主义分子之一的故事写给全世界听，而不止是她，更是世界上其他的女性和平主义分子的故事也都应该分享。这样，世界各地的小女孩们能够有自己的偶像，能够知道自己也能够改变世界。生为女性的她们面对了什么额外的困难，让她们更加坚强、有毅力及勇气来追梦。
 
好评：
'Supriya Vani’s book effectively motivates people towards gender equality and inspire women to rise up with all their potentials. The book will inspire parents to not clip the wings of their daughters and let them fly and that makes the difference.' – Malala Yousafzai

'Supriya Vani’s stories of Nobel Peace Laureates amount to much more than a sincere tribute to some of the world’s most fearless women. By bringing us their voices, their vulnerabilities, their wisdom, she inspires us all to make a difference in the world by tapping into our better angels.' – Arianna Huffington
 
'Women all around the world undergo severe levels of discrimination and violence. Various nations not only legalize discrimination against women in their penal codes but also in their civil laws, ratifying, notably, the inequity with regard to inheritance and marriage. Even the states that decree regulations ensuring equal rights for women fail in enforcing those regulations in practice. Women are underrepresented in public institutions and central decision-making bodies, and still, to this present date, withhold only 25% of positions of this nature. Supriya Vani’s book pays tributes to some of the many women that forged themselves a path through a patriarchal world by confronting the social, cultural and political norms to create a better world for the future generations.' – 
Mdm. Najet Zammouri, Vice-President And Treasurer At The Tunisian Human Rights League (LTDH), Nobel Peace Laureate
 
'Women have a fundamentally important role to play at the heart of our societies, communities and families. Women, as leaders, have a critical perspective to bring to the table in propelling our societies forward and in the fight against violence and conflict. This impressive book by Supriya Vani is not only a fitting honour to these 16 women Nobel Peace Laureates who dedicated their lives, often at great peril and self-sacrifice, to make our world a more peaceful one, but also an inspiration for generations to come; the young girls of the world today and the women of the future to follow in their footsteps and act as agents of change for a better world. Until women and men can stand as full equals, our work is not done.' – Fatou Bensouda, Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court

'The central message of each of the sixteen female Nobel peace laureates is: ‘Never submit to evil and suffer… instead, subdue evil with grit and determination.
Grasping and conveying the courage of these women has been at the core of my entire effort. I have not penned abridged biographies of these eminent laureates, but included all relevant events from their lives that show the purity of their mind, their all-embracing empathy, and their spirit of self-sacrifice for the well-being of others. I tried to express the depth of human empathy, which I found in abundance in them all. Truly, each of them is an enigma in herself and has left an indelible mark on my psyche.
By taking a closer look at the incredible life stories of these 16 female Nobel Peace laureates, it is my hope that more people will be catapulted to a new height of self-awareness, and will start interacting with the world with a sense of urgency that leads to helping others for others’ sake. Doing so can eventually create feelings of elation and goodwill that truly elevate us all.' – Supriya Vani in conversation with Maria Shriver
