_a"Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? lets readers glimpse the amazing life and achievements of business leader, author, attorney, and human rights activist Loida Nicolas Lewis, who has graced the cover of Working Woman magazine as 'The Most Powerful Female CEO in America.' Born in the Philippines, Loida came to New York City as a young woman and fell head over heels for Reginald F. Lewis, a brilliant, volatile African American lawyer who acquired and operated a billion-dollar, international food corporation before dying of brain cancer at the age of 50. Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? is the story of Loida's complicated marriage to an iconic, take-no-prisoners businessman; her bid to forge her own identity working as an attorney, immigration expert, real estate investor, author, and activist; her paralyzing depression after Reg's death; her subsequent efforts to raise two young daughters. Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? also highlights how Loida's unshakeable faith in the Almighty helped her to rescue her late husband's financially ailing company and push it to record earnings. There's an amazing paucity of business books focusing on female CEOs and on immigrant success stories. In this book readers will appreciate Loida's candid take on what it's like to be a principled, Christian-oriented Filipina in a world dominated by hard-charging white males, not to mention the way Loida pulls back the curtain on her business successes and miscalculations, and the incredible challenge of being a widow raising two young children while regularly shuttling between Manhattan and Paris as she guides a huge multinational corporation. Readers who've been challenged by life's vicissitudes twists and turns will put down Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? appreciating that there's no obstacle that perseverance and faith can't vanquish"-- _cProvided by publisher. |
