In the Presence of Women the Question Is Asked, Are Women Natural Allies?

We are women: the light bearers, the leaders of positive change. We are not inferior, and we must not allow anyone to diminish our value with stereotypes and assumptions-including ourselves. Too many young girls today can't see their own worth; left unattended, this wound breeds fear, anger, and jealousy, which harm not only the individual but also the very sisterhood of women. Although we have certainly achieved progress throughout history, we still have miles to go-ground that we can only cover together.

Bursting with hope and passion for true community, "In the Presence of Women, the Question Is Asked: Are Women Natural Allies? And Why Should We Care?" calls women of all colors, shapes, and ages to remember their true nature as creative healers and start advocating for their sisters around the world. Discussing tough topics including racism, sexism, and homophobia, author Lorene Garrett-Browder candidly points out how we as women often perpetuate abuse against one another through our denial, disrespect, and scapegoating. Her intention is not to point fingers but rather to reveal the locations of our wounds so we can begin to heal.

Take heart, sisters: Together we can change the world.
