Book Review
In her inspirational book, Unlocked: How Empowered Women Empower Women, author Jane Finette reflects on how, according to the World Economic Forum, women lost thirty-six years of progress in 2020 alone, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That's an entire generation lost. But by empowering one another, women can help each other to realize their potential and make the biggest impact on society as a whole.
We are living in a world where women still need to fight for access to capital, voice, opportunity, skills, and more, says author Jane Finette, whose book Unlocked: How Empowered Women Empower Women, provides a platform for insightful voices to be heard on how to change this situation. She believes that once unlocked, women hold the key to realizing the true potential of our global society. Jane’s debut book is a collection of real-world short stories that highlight impactful accounts of incredible female leaders working to propel women and girls forward. Part inspiration, part practical guide, Unlocked demonstrates how these pioneers are creating lasting change, and how you can apply their trailblazing lessons to your life.
Jane’s expert insights show that although the problems and challenges can seem insurmountable, global positive change is being fueled every day by women everywhere. Unlocked was written to encourage and empower women to take action into their own hands, and reach gender equality in our lifetime. She believes that when we lift another woman, we all rise!

There is something powerful about women empowering one another to fulfill their potential, and when they do, everyone wins.
