The Ethiopian Media Women Association (EWMA) said on Monday it prepared a new book which deals with women in leadership.
The book entitled "Candace" aimed to enforce the roles and positions of Ethiopian women leaders, EMWA said in a statement sent to The Daly Monitor a day ahead of the book's official launch on Tuesday, July 15, 2008.
The association said Candace was initiated with the view of recording the history, challenges, and achievements of Ethiopian women inside different walks of life beginning from the 20th century.
Written by Alem Desta, an Ethiopian residing in the Netherlands, the book portrays 20 women who have played and are playing vital roles within their communities and their Ethiopian nation as a whole posing tales from the earlier Zemene Mesafint times through the Emperors' and Mengistu Hailemariam's regimes to the present, it added.
