Why Should Guys Have All the Fun?: An Asian American Story of Love, Marriage, Motherhood, and Running a Billion-Dollar Empire - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
Widowed mom shatters notions of how trailblazing CEOs look and act
If Crazy Rich Asians and a Greek tragedy had a literary offspring, it would be the spitting image of Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? The true story of resolute immigration lawyer and activist Loida Lewis, Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? begins with Loida's adventure-packed Philippine upbringing. A torrid love affair with brilliant, irascible financier Reginald Lewis follows, as does regal living in Manhattan and Paris, and gut-wrenching loss, all before Loida shockingly commandeers a multibillion-dollar, multinational conglomerate and leads it with aplomb.
You'll learn how she dealt with her husband's untimely death at the age of 50 and how she managed to raise two independent daughters even as she shepherded a multinational corporation to record earnings. Readers will also find:
- Explorations of how the author overcame her severe depression after the loss of her beloved husband
- Discussions of how faith and perseverance helped Loida overcome the myriad challenges and obstacles in her path
- How the author, a Filipina-American woman, navigated a business world dominated by hard-charging white males
A fascinating and engaging memoir from one of America's leading female executives, Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? is an inspiring and uplifting true story of how an ordinary person can rise to achieve extraordinary things.

Hardback. Etat : Good. Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? Let s readers glimpse the amazing life and achievements of business leader, author, attorney, and human rights activist Loida Nicolas Lewis, who has graced the cover of Working Woman magazine as The Most Powerful Female CEO in America. Born in the Philippines, Loida came to New York City as a young woman and fell head over heels for Reginald F. Lewis, a brilliant, volatile African American lawyer who acquired and operated a billion-dollar, international food corporation before dying of brain cancer at the age of 50. Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? is the story of Loida s complicated marriage to an iconic, take-no-prisoners businessman; her bid to forge her own identity working as an attorney, immigration expert, real estate investor, author, and activist; her paralyzing depression after Reg s death; her subsequent efforts to raise two young daughters. Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? also highlights how Loida s unshakeable faith in the Almighty helped her to rescue her late husband s financially ailing company and push it to record earnings. There s an amazing paucity of business books focusing on female CEOs and on immigrant success stories. In this book readers will appreciate Loida s candid take on what it s like to be a principled, Christian-oriented Filipina in a world dominated by hard-charging White males, not to mention the way Loida pulls back the curtain on her business successes and miscalculations, and the incredible challenge of being a widow raising two young children while regularly shuttling between Manhattan and Paris as she guides a huge multinational corporation. Readers who ve been challenged by life s vicissitudes twists and turns will put down Why Should Guys Have All the Fun? appreciating that there s no obstacle that perseverance and faith can t vanquish.
