Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 05, 2015
CBD Marketing (CBD), a women-owned agency located in Chicago, today announced the release of Words of Wisdom from Kick-Ass Women,Vol. II, the highly anticipated second edition of its award-winning 2013 e-book of the same name offering motivational quotes from a variety of nationally recognized female leaders.

Twenty-one notable and accomplished women in business, government, technology and education were asked to share a valuable lesson learned from taking a personal or professional risk.
