I had fun last week visiting Nell Merlino when she came to Seattle for her book reading of Stepping Out of Line at Elliott Bay books. I am a big fan of Nell’s organization, Make Mine a Million Dollar Business.

When activist Nell Merlino decides something needs to change, she throws everything she has into changing it. Whether it is raising the visibility of girls or helping women build their microbusinesses into million-dollar enterprises, her many campaigns have helped women make dreams come true. Now she marshals her life lessons, and those of other gutsy entreprenesses, to help women have it their way. Stepping Out of Line is Merlino’s bold manifesto for women to get what they want in their lives, in the arenas of love or work, or in the world at large. Offering practical nuggets like “Google Is a Girl’s Best Friend” and “How to Gain from Complaining,” she shows women how to imagine a bigger life, find support, and stay the course. With stories of other women who have made big changes—from the woman who started the international campaign to ban land mines, to one who opened luxury spas in airports—she inspires readers to “step out of line,” stop waiting, and remake their lives to fit their wildest visions.
