The Book Giving 22 Women Leaders a Voice
And Changing How We See Leadership
[United Kingdom, 15thApril 2025]Brenda Dempsey's groundbreaking anthology redefines leadership and earns finalist spot in the Business Book Awards 2025.
What happens when 22 extraordinary women from across the globe come together to share their stories of strength, strategy, and transformation? You get Voices of Women - a powerful, thought-provoking book that's shifting perceptions of leadership, and has just been announced as a finalist in the Business Book Awards 2025.
Curated by Brenda Dempsey - multi-award-winning entrepreneur, changemaker, and CEO at Book Brilliance Publishing based in Epsom, Surrey - Voices of Women is far more than a book. It's a movement. A rallying cry. A stage for authentic leadership stories that challenge the status quo and champion purpose-driven action.
Through the voices of global female leaders, the book unveils deeply personal journeys, marked by resilience, clarity, and courage - and invites readers to explore what leadership looks like when it's rooted in lived experience and unapologetic authenticity.
Brenda's own story sets the tone. Originally from Clydebank, Scotland, she rose from a background of adversity - overcoming domestic abuse and homelessness while raising four children - to build a life of purpose. Through education and entrepreneurship, she became a recognised changemaker, earning accolades such as the Global Woman Influencer Award and a British Citizen Award for Services to Education and Publishing.
Structured to blend storytelling, thought leadership, and practical wisdom, Voices of Women is essential reading for aspiring leaders, advocates for equity, and anyone passionate about creating a more inclusive future. It challenges outdated definitions of leadership and offers a fresh, intersectional view of what it truly means to lead with impact.
"When women rise and share their truth, the ripple effect can change everything," says Brenda. "This book is a platform for those ripples - and a powerful call for the world to listen."
