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:
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.
LOIDA LEWIS is the former Chair and CEO of TLC Beatrice International Holdings, Inc. A lawyer by education and admitted to practice in the Philippines and New York, Loida is the first Filipino woman to pass the New York bar without attending law school in the United States. She chairs the Reginald F. Lewis Foundation which her late husband, Reginald Lewis, founded in 1987, the same year he became the first African American to acquire a billion-dollar multinational corporation. Loida Lewis began guiding the fortunes of TLC Beatrice in 1994, a year after her husband’s untimely passing.
