The Mail & Guardian's annual Book of South African Women is looking for women who are changing South Africa one community, one workplace, one family at a time.

The inspiring people sought and nominated for the book should show leadership qualities, such as the ability to inspire, plan and execute their ideas with exceptional efficiency.

These passionate women aspire to goals that appear unattainable, yet systematically plan how to achieve them, often using finite resources, and always have another plan ready if the first does not work.

The book will be published in August, in time for women's month.
