For the past ten years, Marianne Williamson has lectured and led discussion groups across the United States and Europe. Her inspirational words have provided encouragement to thousands and brought solace to people with life-threatening illnesses. Frequently drawing on incidents from her own life, she has the extraordinary ability to reach women and men of all types. Young and old, rich and poor, healthy and infirm, housewives and career women, their husbands and lovers and children and parent - all have come to her with their frustrations and joys, for insights on spiritual wisdom and to share their experiences. At forty, Williamson is one of a generation of women who have been part of tremendous social upheavals and are now just beginning to fit the pieces together. Today women are confused. Some would like to have it all but are held back by their lack of either self-worth or a support system, as well as by historical prejudice. Others are afraid of asking for too much, afraid of losing love and respect if they appear too greedy. Williamson persuasively proposes that women must first examine their inner lives before going out to conquer the outer world. The first step is for women to find their spiritual home, religious or otherwise, the place where they know they are respected and admired. Throughout history, women have sublimated their own talents and needs to please a patriarchal society. Now it is time to value feminine qualities, to be proud of being a woman. In chapters devoted to beauty, age, relationships, sex, children, and careers, Williamson sends a strong message of empowerment to women of all ages. This is a comforting message for men as well. The reemergence of women will bring about the healing of the world.
This is an amazing book, that not only makes you feel good, but makes you feel like you are worth everything! I had to buy a new copy of this book, as the first one was covered with so much underline, hi lighter and notes, I couldn't read it properly! Then I started promptly doing the same thing to the next... oops! Needless to say, this is an awesome book.
A Woman's Worth is one of my all-time favorite books. Over the years since I first read it, I have bought countless copies and given them away to sisters and girlfriends. Reading even small passages of this book from time to time brings me right back to a deep sense of belonging to a deep and ancient sisterhood, to a deep sense of self worth. It does not denigrate our femininity but glorifies it, not just for its own sake,but for the deep power buried inside. The feminine spirit is sensitivity and softness; but it is in this sensitivity and softness that we women can find our power and strength, which is no small thing. Our open hearts, perhaps even our bleeding hearts, are desperately needed in the world. This book brings women back to themselves, which in turns returns them to their rightful place in this world.
A Woman's Worth is a well-written book for those who are very spiritual. Marianne Williamson speaks on prayer and meditation as a means to build self-esteem and self-confidence. It does get a little too feministic teaching a woman can do all things alone and that may be true but I would have liked to seen this book written show how an empowered woman can be a learning tool and inspiration for others. I am glad I got this book as a gift. You can tell that she wrote this book from the heart and from her own experience and I guess that is how she developed into the Queen she teaches women to be.
