Available in English and Spanish language editions, Latina Power! shows Latinas how to recognize and maximize seven attributes they already possess to enhance their lives and bring them closer to their dreams.

Just in time for Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations, Dr. Nogales infuses her firsthand experiences and professional wisdom into Latina Power!. The uplifting message of this book encourages Latinas to move beyond expected roles and become the women they wish to be simply by embracing seven traits naturally ingrained into them by Latino culture, including:

Espíritu Creativo.
The Aguantadora's Passionate Determination.
The Comadre's Networking Ability.
The Diplomática's Discretion.
The Atrevida's Courage.
The Malabarista's Balance.
La Reina's Confidence and Strength.

Dr. Nogales incorporates an interactive, personal element into each chapter, including a self-assessment quiz to determine how strong or weak each attribute is in the Latina reader's own personality, and exercises to improve each trait. Also featured throughout the guide are personal stories exemplifying each strength, as told to the author by Latinas from a wide variety of backgrounds, including novelist Isabel Allende, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, and many others. Prescriptive and encouraging, Latina Power! is certain to benefit countless Latinas.

We Hold the Keys to Our Own Success, January 28, 2004
This review is from:
Latina Power! Using 7 Strengths You Already Have to Create the Success You Deserve (Paperback)

My husband gave me this book for Christmas and I read it with excitement, hope and a renewed feeling of joy for my Latina heritage.

Dr. Nogales looks into the traits we ALREADY possess, our strengths passed down to us from our grandmothers and mothers and shows us how they are useful survival skills. She gives wonderful examples of real world women who've used these innate skills to reach success in all walks of life.
What I particularly admire about Dr. Nogales' writing is that it is not elitist- it draws upon women's wisdom and shows the timeless wisdom we've all had access to from our female role models.
Whether you're rich or poor, educated or not, this book can reach you. It touched me and I recommend it to other women, Latinas or not.
I will use this book as a reference for my clients.
