" . . . Our culture, even the culture of our faith, has helped anesthetize the feminine spirit."

"This woman will become pregnant with herself, with the symbolic female-child who will, if given the chance, grow up to reinvent the woman's life."

This has many interesting points, but at times it gets a little woo woo, and I also think it‘s a bit too long. At the same time, I wish she‘d talked more about the shift in her writing career. Also, her journey features travel to Greece, multiple women‘s retreats, and an extended stay in San Francisco where she hardly left her lodgings. What?!?

Nevertheless, there are some useful ideas, and she writes well.

One of my book clubs put out the list for the next year (August to May), so I‘ve been adjusting my Goodreads tags and putting library holds on the popular titles.

I have loved every line of this book.

Ive been picking through this book a few pages at a time for over a year and almost every line rings like a bell.

Power is the ability to take one‘s place in whatever discourse is essential to action and the right to have one‘s part matter.

Anger can fuel our ability to challenge, to defy injustice. It can lead to creative projects, constructive behavior, acts that work toward inclusion. In such ways anger becomes a dynamism of love.

When you learn about works in progress from authors you love 🎉🎉🎉

When reading this passage, I had to stop and think about the way I was raised and how I was taught this by the church and how it affected me. #thoughtprovoking #aprilbookshowers

My Sunday morning reading. I never mark in my books but this is different. I have a feeling this is going to lead to a lot of titles being added to my tbr.

I started this book a few months ago and I am taking my sweet time reading it. This book is paradigm shifting and i don't want to miss any of the beautiful truths. I read and then sit in my thoughts. I come back to it when I have time, knowing I will need to sit, again, in my thoughts.
