"In writing this book I have no purpose other than a creative spill
of my own guts," proclaims Williamson at the start of these seven
inspirational essays aimed at resurrecting the sacred feminine in
today's women. Readers of the author's mega-selling A Return to
Love (1992) know that her guts spill rather messily, the point of
the effluence being not so much to inform through logic and hard
data as to transport to new spiritual heights on a torrent of
upbeat chit-chat. So, here, readers will find themselves responding
- perhaps off the page but most certainly on ("'What?' you say.
'Me, a priestess?'") - to Williamson's exhortations that they put
aside the deadening constrictions of patriarchy and "embark on a
quest for our own enchantment." Williamson covers issues such as
image, sex, gender-biased language, abortion, emotional masochism
("Yuk. How sick. Yet how familiar"), etc., all the while urging her
"girls" to release their passions and to realize the "power of our
womanly knowingness" as they meditate and pray to both "God" and
"the Goddess." (Williamson is, of course, a fervent student of the
"channeled" mystical-religious teachings known asa Course in
Miracles). It's a familiar yet enduringly potent message, delivered
in frank, elbows-on-the-table style that's likely to see an
extraordinary number of readers sharing the author's thoughts and
then chanting, as she does, "We are about to break free. We are
about to be born. We have seen the shining. We have seen. We have
seen." (Kirkus Reviews)
Drawing on her own experiences and reflections, as well as her interactions with thousands of women across the USA and Europe, A WOMAN'S WORTH gives us Marianne Williamson's unique and very personal view of the feminine spirit. She explores the many facets of contemporary womanhood - family, work, sex, love, power - and investigates the distinctive pattern of women's spiritual and emotional life. She also examines the enduring power of female archetypes, from women healers to women who run with the wolves. Filled with challenging observations and inspiring insights, A WOMAN'S WORTH brilliantly explores the dilemmas women face today.
