When activist Nell Merlino decides something needs to change, she throws everything she has into changing it. Whether it is raising the visibility of girls or helping women build their microbusinesses into million-dollar enterprises, her many campaigns have helped women make dreams come true. Now she marshals her life lessons and those of other gutsy women to help women have it their way.

Stepping Out of Line is Merlino’s bold manifesto for women to get what they want, in the arenas of love or work, or in the world at large. Offering practical nuggets like “Gain from complaining” and “The system is more malleable than you think,” she shows women how to imagine bigger lives, find support, and stay the course. With stories of other women who have made big changes-from the woman who started the international campaign to ban landmines to one who opened luxury spas in airports to another who saved her family home despite divorce and debt—she inspires readers to “step out of line,” stop waiting, and re-make their lives to fit their wildest visions.
