Recenzii
Poignant.
Trailblazing female politicians, royals, actors and writers from around the world write letters to historical figures, famous women, family members and mentors, sharing their heartfelt personal experiences while drawing attention to pressing social issues that fuel their activism. Through their letters they reflect on their lives, careers, relationships, successes and challenges, and although many highlight the various trials and tribulations this generation of Arab women has had to endure and overcome, the overall message is one of activism and optimism for the future.
In this collection of writings from women across the world, letter-writing is put to work to declare women's solidarity, strength and resolve. A book to delve into when in need of wise counsel.
A book like this. is as close as possible to a bouquet of roses. each one [letter] is special and distinctive and suffused with a different fragrance. Without a doubt every reader will find.. [within them] a dose of love, hope and inspiration.
Powerful and insightful letters from a global group of accomplished women. From Women to the World is an attempt by these incredible, outspoken, and inspiring women to lend us their hands, through their experiences, to bring us along to a new century of change.
Elizabeth Filippouli's book, From Women to the World, is profoundly moving. A series of letters written by women, to the women who changed their lives, it is in itself likely to change the lives of the many women who are destined to read it.Among the many powerful and incisive stories, the letter written by Muna AbuSulayman to Margaret Garner, the enslaved woman attempting to escape to freedom, who murdered her daughter rather than see her return to captivity, induced me to tears. I will be buying it for my daughter and my mother. This is not a book to miss.
Living in the 21st century, we should not be forced to question ourselves about gender equality and gender equivalence. We all have to remain vigilant not to lose the giant steps forward that were made in earlier centuries to give the woman the place she rightfully deserves as a human being, a free individual, possessor of her own body, entitled to being single, a wife, a mother, a CEO, a preacher or whatever she decides to become or to be. No other restrictions applied then those she decides to endorse. The hard work continues. The beauty of those letters lie in their fragility toward others and in their strength to become and to be at the same time. This book is a must read!
From Women to the World is a remarkable book reflecting the sentiments of women from across the world in moving tributes to those they love and respect. These exceptional people, who have often achieved success against the odds, share values, passion, and a mutual, powerful faith in the way women can change the world. Each beautifully crafted letter tells a story, touching on injustice, prejudice, oppression, and inequality, but also highlighting the courage, determination, and self-belief that women draw on to try and achieve their rightful place in male dominated societies. It is both a literary gem and a slice of history. This is a tremendous book..
From Women to the World features missives from women to the women who inspired and sustained them. It is a work of profound reflection through and about relationships. Elizabeth Filippouli makes these letters a sort of 'collective voice' of what is common to these women, highly varied in specifics and yet linked by shared concern and commitments. This volume opens up the power of relationships and gives access to these private voices to all of us. It is indeed 'from women to the world'.
From Women to the World is a thought-provoking, deeply inspirational, and beautifully compiled tribute to women's leadership. I commend Elizabeth for this important and timeless contribution to the growing body of scholarship and literature that honours the unlimited potential and unparalleled capacity of women's leadership, and highlights its holistic impact on economies, on societies, and whole communities.
From Women to the World is a thought-provoking and at times difficult read. In this carefully curated series of letters, Elizabeth Filippouli has, in her own words, 'handed over a baton'. Together we have the power to change society and make it fairer for all. To all who contributed: thank you. To my fellow readers: now is the time - we move forward together.
This is a gem of a book.
I could say that From Women to the World is a role model female platform. It is a dialogue between women that inspires, thrills, touches the souls and feelings of countless readers that surely this spectacular book will have. Thank you, Elizabeth Filippouli and all the brave and valuable women authors of these letters, for let us share their fights, pains, and victories.
Too often we focus on metrics and measurements, yet it is stories and relationships that lead to real, long lasting transformation. These stories from around the world will have an impact on the reader as they did on those who feature in them. This is a beautiful, powerful book.
Elizabeth says: Feminism is about accepting the inevitable limitations while nurturing mind independence. When you read this book you will realize that none of its contributors accept either inevitability or limitations. Well done Elizabeth for this remarkable step in breaking the mould.
This is a unique book about the race to dignity and equality which will take long, but with the right leaders we will get there faster!'
Reading these letters, and the stories of the women writing them and to whom they were written, made me cry, smile with recognition and made me feel humble when I read some of the stories. Incredible letters that highlight the power of understanding, love and reflection. Overwhelmingly they made me feel inspired and hopeful that we live in a world where there are many, many people of compassion, wisdom and emotional strength despite us rarely hearing their voices.
If you were to write a letter to a woman of History say, or of Today, a Relation or anyone, someone you can imagine walking into the future with - Who would it be? What would you say? Well, my female friends, pull up a one-of-a-kind seat at the From Women to the World table and get ready to be swept away by a global group of fearless imprimaturs who did what you are imagining that you might do one day. Delight. Enjoy. Partake a breathtaking read of many of the most creative, wide-eyed set of letters that will charge up your inner bandit to feel and do everything you would-will do to advance all aspects of the human spirit of our gender. Here. There and Everywhere.
This book, is riveting, moving, shocking and uplifting.
