"The leader of the free world needs a woman head of state-but a
particular woman-with the intellect and presence of mind to ponder
action with an eye on the future; a human-centeredness capable of
respecting difference and envisioning peaceful cooperation and
coexistence with and among nations; a woman unconcerned with
showing how tough she is, or how religious she is, or how
fashion-setting her wardrobe."
Many of the names and the stories you'll read in "Women's Work
and Words" will be "un"familiar-Rachel Corrie, Anna Politkovskaya,
Claudette Colvin, and Wangari Maathai. Others-such as Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, Alice Walker, Shirley Chisholm, and Madonna-have reached
deep into the human consciousness.
All of these women share a spiritual bond. They struggle. They
struggle for peace, justice, and a better world. Each has had the
courage to challenge the politics of spin and the inhumanity of men
and to work for change. Through this stunning medley of profiles,
author Carolyn LaDelle Bennett argues that war and conflicts
worldwide will end only when human-centered, independent
voices-unbought and unbossed-take the helm of governments and
political decision-making.
Adapted from Bennett's news and current affairs columns, this
book illuminates true and deeply thoughtful voices on the critical
issues of our time.
