If Women Ruled the World: How to Create the World We Want to Live In
I received hundreds of essay submissions for this book from women of every background--with and without kids, old and young, from those who had a humorous experience with the issue they wanted to address, to those whose words screamed of injustice, inequality, and world problems so big that I would set the essay aside and stare at my computer screen, unable to move, unsure if the world was actually ready to hear the truth. What moved me most was how alike we are.  Regardless of upbringing, economics, or education, underneath the skin of women is a wild, protective, nurturing strength that knows we're in trouble.  We know somehow we have to rise together and take a stand.  We may disagree on the direction society needs to move in, but we all agree it needs to get moving.  Women's voices fill these pages--women who see a new world rising from the ashes of mistakes, poor choices, and lack of direction. The intent of this book is to engage your mind, heart, and imagination to the point where you feel uniquely called to participate.  Change is about movement, and movement in any direction is impossible without an idea—If Women Ruled the World  is full of ideas.
