Some women live life out loud while others have chosen a more quiet path. Sometimes called introverts or private people, they keep their stories to themselves. These tales can be inspiring and entertaining stories involving humor, adventure and romance as well as those that are tragic and about overcoming challenges. Whether you are a quiet woman looking for the courage to let yourself be seen or you simply enjoy a good story about real life, join Stephanie Sumner, a marketing executive, entrepreneur and quiet woman herself on her quest to reveal the real and amazing lives of women you’ve never heard from before and celebrate them coming out of their shell.
