Introduction

Y ou are looking at the ninth volume in the How to Be Like... series. The series had its inception in the fall of 1998 when Pat approached Peter Vegso, publisher of Health Communications, Inc., with a book concept. Michael Jordan had just led the Chicago Bulls to their sixth National Basketball Association title, and Pat had started giving a speech in the corporate world titled How to Be Like Mike. He suggested to Peter that this would be an ideal subject for a book, and Peter readily agreed.

In September 2001, How to Be Like Mike was published and sales and responses to the book were overwhelmingly positive. Shortly after How to Be Like Mike was released, Peter and Pat met for lunch to discuss future How to Be Like... projects. In the ensuing six years, How to Be Like... books have appeared regularly. Subsequent volumes have profiled Jesus, women of influence, Rich DeVos, Walt Disney, Jackie Robinson, John Wooden, women athletes of influence, and the book you are reading now, How to Be Like Women of Power, which profiles twenty-one amazingly powerful women from all walks of lifebusiness, education, politics, sports, literature, finance, law, acting, publishing, and the environment.

Why are these women so powerful? Because they skyrocketed through the glass ceiling and catapulted themselves to the top of their professions, many times against incredible odds. But these women would not give up. A few were disadvantaged from the start. Some were homeless, some poor, some friendless, some outcasts. Others were brilliant, beautiful, talented, and privileged. Regardless of their station in life, they were passionate about their purpose. They were trailblazers, risk takers, activists, mavericks, naturalists, and servants. They were compassionate, optimistic, ambitious, and dedicated. They were driven to challenge the status quo, to push steadfastly towards their goal, to live their dream. They were innovative and possessed such a strong sense of self that they were able to defy conventional thinking and create new paths for others to follow. These women embraced the power of their dreams and dared to be different.

We are certain that the fascinating women that you will encounter on the following pages will have a positive impact on your life. They will challenge you and encourage you. They will inspire you and grab at your heart. And they will be dynamic, shining examples in a world where the lights have dimmed around many of our heroes. It is our hope that you will be inspired by these role models to forge ahead and leave your mark on the world.

Rachael Ray 1968-Enthusiasm

I dont want anything to separate me from
the viewers. I open the cans, I chop the onions myself,
and I wear street clothes.... I dont want people to look at
what I do and think that they cant do that too.
Its extremely important.

RACHAEL RAY

Rachael Domenica Ray acknowledges that she has no formal culinary, business, broadcast, or writing training. But with her sheer determination, gutsy confidence, and passion for good food, Ray has built a cooking and media empire that reaches millions of loyal fans around the globe each day.

More than twenty million viewers watch her six television shows. More than five million copies of her cookbooks have been sold. Her bimonthly magazine has a circulation of one million.

Born the middle of three children on August 25, 1968, in Glens Falls, New York, Ray spent her first eight years in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Her parents, James Claude Ray and Elsa Providenza Scuderi, owned four restaurants there. In 1976, the family moved to Lake George, New York, so Elsa could run several other restaurants.

Her early exposure to the restaurant business meant Ray encountered firsthand every aspect of food and hospitality service by the time she was ready for school. My mother didnt like strangers watching her children, so we all were in the restaurants from the time we were born, Ray told People magazine. We did every crap job there wasdishwasher, busgirl.

Despite the tough and gritty work involved, Ray became fascinated with the process of cooking. Every day, she watched as her mother or the restaurant cooks diced, chopped, marinated, and sauted. She spent time with her father as he meticulously prepared the Cajun food he had grown up on. On Sundays, she watched carefully as her maternal grandfather, Emmanuel Scudari, gathered the extended family of twelve at his house and cooked specialties from his native Sicily.

The principle ingredient in her familys kitchens was enthusiasm, and Ray absorbed a crucial message: cooking should be easy, and it should be fun. I was raised in a household that taught us that everybody has the right to have a lot of fun, she told writer Beverly Keel for American Profile.

She also soaked up the techniques they used to get the food on the table fast. Rather than measure out ingredients precisely, her mother and grandfather often happily improvised measurements while quickly pulling a meal together. They incorporated precooked, leftover, canned, or frozen foods into recipes to keep preparation simple.

They also encouraged the children to help, even if it resulted in mistakes or injuries. During her first kitchen foray at age three or four, Ray tried to emulate her mothers swift movements with a spatula and I ended up grilling my thumb, she recalled in a Food Network biography. The experience only fired her determination to learn more.

After graduating from Lake George High School in Albany, New York, in 1986, Ray attended college. She had food on the brain, however, and decided real-life experience in restaurants suited her better than classroom theory. Eager for a big-city opportunity, she decamped in the early 1990s to New York City.

She landed a job at Macys Marketplace helming the candy counter, but her hard work soon had her moving up to become the fresh-foods department manager. Two years later, armed with management experience, Ray left Macys to become a manager and buyer at gourmet marketplace Agata & Valentina.

Ray engaged customers with her enthusiasm and breezy conversational style. To find out what they liked and didnt like about the stores offerings, she asked them directly and then listened intently.

But Ray yearned for the slower pace of upstate New York. After going through a bad personal breakup and getting mugged twice in one weekonce in front of her apartmentRay decided it was time to head home. She rented a cabin on three remote acres in the Adirondacks to make sure she had the peace she wanted.

Ray was confident that she wanted to stay in the food industry, so she took a series of local jobs, both to pay her $550 a month rent and to garner a solid array of experiences. She managed various pubs and the restaurant at Sagamore Resort in Lake George, ran food demonstrations at Price Chopper stores, and then took a job at the upscale Cowan & Lobel market as a buyer.
