In this book, tributes have been written to the following ten women who made an impact in society: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Virgin Mary, Jane Austen, Boudicca, Diana- Princess of Wales, Amelia Earhart, Queen Victoria, Josephine Butler, Mary Seacole and Mother Teresa.Excerpts from the poem "Queen of People’s Hearts" :
She transformed public attitudes towards AIDS and leprosy
She was influential in channelling the Ottawa Treaty
She supported charity causes for cancer suffering people
She genuinely touched the hearts of lepers and the cripple
Excerpts from the poem "The Queen of Air":
She set a world altitude record flying a Pitcairn PCA two
The American public realised that female flyers were not new
When they banned women for the Bendix Trophy Race
She bluntly refused to fly her plane there with grace
Excerpts from the poem "God and One Woman":
She was angered by the double standards towards women
When a lapse was considered worse thing than in a man
She was drawn to help fallen women who faced jurisprudence
She brought them to live at her house after their sentence
