'The ATHENA Prodigies:Empowering Women Empowering Girls' Wins Coveted Royal Dragonfly Book Award

GUELPH, Ontario - Dec. 2, 2016 - PRLog -- The judges of the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards contest, which recognizes excellence in all genres of literature have spoken, and The ATHENA Prodigies: Empowering Women Empowering Girls by Danielle Joworski, won an Honorable Mention in the Women's Interests category for 2016.

         "Winning any place in the Royal Dragonfly Contest is a huge honor because in order to maintain the integrity of the Dragonfly Book Awards, a minimum score is required before a First or Second Place or Honorable Mention will be awarded to the entrant – even if it is the sole entry in a category," explains Linda F. Radke, president of the Dragonfly Book Awards program. "Competition is steep, too, because there is no publication date limit as long as the book is still in print."

         The ATHENA Prodigies is a reflective journey for women with a desire to pursue the dreams, or life, only once imagined.  Its unique value is expanded by also being a book for women to read with girls; to understand their dreams and goals.  As women become empowered to pursue their dreams, they are discovering those of our younger generations of girls, empowering girls to aspire to them as well.

         The ATHENA Prodigies can be purchased online at Amazon.com or locally in Guelph, ON at Chapters bookstores, The Bookshelf, Janus Books and Roxanne's Reflections Book & Card Shop (Fergus, ON).
