The FWN Filipina Leadership Book Series fills the gap in the leadership literature that has missed the opportunity to survey the leadership competencies of women of Philippine ancestry. A ground-breaking book series that documents the leadership stories about victories over poverty, domestic violence, incarceration, discrimination, and harassment which shaped their world view, leader identity, life purpose, power, and influence.

A compilation of narratives and case studies by Filipina leaders based in countries around the world, the book series is key to FWN’s strategy in building its pipeline of qualified leaders that some will rise to the leadership position in all sectors of the economy. The authors and contributors are recipients of the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network's 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World™ award.
