DAUGHTER OF THE NATION

Sri Lanka’s Daughters Who Made a Path for Many to Follow

A powerful tribute to trailblazing Sri Lankan women — now available for download.

This inspiring digital publication celebrates extraordinary women who broke barriers, led with courage, and paved the way for future generations. Their stories are not just history — they are a roadmap for today’s leaders, changemakers, and dreamers.

What You’ll Discover

This inspiring publication features 40 Sri Lankan women who have broken glass ceilings, challenged conventions, and made lasting contributions to the nation. Each personality was personally selected by Dr. Segera, based on the strength of their journeys and the impact they have made in shaping Sri Lanka’s progress across generations and sectors.

The purpose

The purpose of Daughters of the Nation is to move Sri Lanka beyond awards and trophies, encouraging readers especially the younger generation to explore real-life stories of leadership, resilience, and vision. To widen its reach, WIM plans to make the book available in at least one national school library in each of Sri Lanka’s nine provinces, offering students a window into the journeys of women who have redefined leadership and service.

From the world’s first female Prime Minister to today’s corporate, professional, state, and entrepreneurial leaders, the book captures stories that mark Sri Lanka’s proud legacy of women’s leadership.
