Adversity comes in many forms. But is there only one kind of courage? Bron Bateman asked eighteen women to think of a time they were asked to be courageous - and to tell the story of what courage felt like to them. Their responses of resilience, despair and hope will make you weep and wonder, and will ignite your spirit. And they will make you ask: How would I feel? What would I do if that were me?
