March 8th is a globally recognised celebration of female creativity and empowerment. It allows us to discuss the issues left to fix and the injustices still present in our society – today is International Women’s Day.

 

At Olympia Publishers, we are proud to have published numerous works by strong and passionate female authors that tackle these topics head on. Picked from the bunch, are these three non-fiction titles:

 

 

 

The Career Woman’s Mantra by Jennifer Oyelade

 

In a blend of factual and anecdotal evidence, Jennifer Oyelade teaches you to understand personality - yours and those of the women around you - and utilise your newfound knowledge of their respective strengths and weaknesses to succeed in professional and personal environments.

 

The world is congested and ever-changing, with a focused and determined approach to career and personal progression a necessity, not simply a piece of worthwhile advice. This need can be troubling and cause great challenges for our everyday lives – with Jennifer penning this guide to help women through their troubles.

 

Separating the workplace from your home life is just the first step in a manifesto-like call for championing women, challenging evolving industries and sustaining necessary change for future generations.

 

Ultimately, this book is an ode to the working woman.

My Life on Pause by Dr Siobhan O’Sullivan

 

The impact POI (premature ovarian insufficiency) has on an individual's life satisfaction and self-esteem is as challenging as the health issues that comes with it. But still, it is not the end of life!

 

Motherhood and fertility are regarded as major societal landmarks. Therefore, receiving a diagnosis of ovarian insufficiency, at an age where your peers are having children, can be a deeply traumatic and crippling life event. Overcoming this, using her own experiences, is the mission of Dr Siobhan’s writing.

 

At the age of thirty-one, Dr Siobhan’s psychological sequelae was damaged and her ability to form and maintain relationships was greatly impacted. This book discusses the darkness she encountered, but Dr Siobhan also emphasises the brighter side of her life at the time – re-uniting with friends and family.

 

To anyone going through these struggles, this book affirms, you are not alone.

Truth be Told by Christie Goodwin

 

Embark on a transformative journey as one woman confronts a lifetime of self-deception and obesity, unravelling the complex web of lies that shielded her from the truth.

In a modern society, where judgements and critiques of physical appearances are made everyday via social media, it can feel inescapable for most. Christie Goodwin is here to tell her story.

 

In a candid memoir, Christie unveils the psychological intricacies that led her to find solace in an intemperate lifestyle. As she confronts the daunting prospect of an overhaul, Christie discovers the profound impact of societal biases and criticisms that face people with obesity.

 

This introspective journey is an inspiring exploration of self-honesty, positivity and the enduring quest for well-being.
