Personal History is Katharine Graham’s memoir. She became the first female Fortune 500 CEO when she took over at The Washington Post.

There is so much to learn about leading, women’s empowerment, and how we show up at work through Graham’s journey.

From Fran's list on helping women find fulfillment in their career.
