I mentioned the book for the first time in International Women’s Day: Ordinary Extraordinary Women and since then, many people I know decided to buy the book, whether it is the English or the French edition (published in France in April 2010 by Les Arènes).

The design didn’t change for a long time, so it is definitely on my to do list but it is not a priority. Enjoy visiting and reading! ^_^
