Using the inscription on the statue that greets you as you enter Texas Woman's University, the message of this text is powerful and empowering. Singing of "making a path in a pathless wilderness" and "Pressing forward with unswerving courage", this song addresses the strength of women and their ability to conquer adversity in ways that only they can. The primary octavo is for treble choir, piano and percussion but there is an alternate full score and parts for string quartet and percussion.
