Here is how Liz describes it:
She is a book of qualities illustrating the greatness of all women. From "everywoman" to role models such as Hillary Clinton and Madeline Albright to visionary artist Shiloh McCloud and poet Maya Stein, these many women represent the very best in the human spirit.
Mary Anne Radmacher and I gathered a short list of 25 qualities we see in women, that we found to be the most compelling, along with advice and sustenance for a life's journey. We cover topics of leadership, friendship, purpose, adventurousness, cooperation, collaboration, risk-taking, resourcefulness, happiness, compassion, what it is to inspire and much more.
Each page spread features a collection of vintage art and ephemera elegantly designed by me paired with a love letter by Mary Anne Radmacher to each quality along with a tribute to women's strength, character, and the extraordinary capabilities within each and every woman. SHE gathers the wisdom of many wise women including Madeleine L'Engle, Laura Schlessinger, Erica Jong, Rachel Carson, Oprah Winfrey, Christine Mason Miller, Harper Lee, Lucille Ball, Mother Teresa, Pearl Buck, Cheri Huber, Julia Child, Drew Barrymore, and many more.

ReplyDeleteoops pardon the typo- should have been: I teach and I am a working handmade paper artist.
DeleteOh, what a lovely book! After hearing a lot about Brené Brown, lately and getting pumped to read her book, I'd love to wear 'Daring' more freely. This would be a great book for my daughter, as well, as she is almost thirteen.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This is SUCH a book I need in my life right now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book and one that I think all women would love to read.
ReplyDeleteI would love to wear confidence each day, I'm working on it :)
This looks a great book - I don't know if I can join in from England but like Tracey I'd love confidence!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book! Oh I would love to "wear" my head high above the awful things happening in my country lately!AriadnefromGreece!

This book reminds me of my best friend who passed away last week. She was a woman of great passion for deeper relationships with women, no time for superficiality, real stuff, real conversation, real friendship. I miss her dearly and in her honor, I'd love the book but to whoever may win this amazing book, may you cut through the crust and get into the deep and lasting friendships of your life. Then maybe it will be me!
ReplyDeleteMy 14 year old was just looking for a book like this the other day!
ReplyDeleteI'd say I would like to wear gentleness a bit more. I tend to demonstrate strength for my girls, and gentleness tends to take a backseat. I think they are equally important, though.

Seems an inspiring book!! Every woman needs to remember herself how great is to be a woman!
ReplyDeleteWould love this book to share with my daughter. Women need to celebrate their unique ability to wear so many different hats. While it can be burdensome at times, the multifacted roles we play, and play well, should be seen more often as a triumph.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhh ::LOVE::!

ReplyDeletethis book looks gorgeous and from what i can see, offers such a powerful and uplifting message! thanks for the opportunity! <3 jenny.dunham@live.com
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting. I'd love to wear my creativity more freely - unfortunately "The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers".
ReplyDeleteThis book looks fascinating and beautiful. I would like to wear peace more openly. I find myself struggling to maintain a strength and calm in the midst of the small struggles of my day. I know it's because of bigger issues that are outside my control, yet they nevertheless erode my ability to experience the joy of my kids and my home.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an amazing book, thanks for the chance to win, Maya!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic! I am reading Joseph Campbell's Goddesses in prep for Elizabeth's course on Myths ... so excited! And doing "research" to ready myself for my little goddess-in-training :) We mothers need to band together for inspiration! Love to you - always so much goodness here! xo
ReplyDeleteIt looks a lovely and inspiring book, thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThis is a perfect book for a friend of mine. She just recently went through a divorce, lost her home, lost her job, but still kept on going, for her and her two sons. She's been such an inspiration to me and her other friends. This book would be perfect for me to give to her to let her know how much I admire her strength.
ReplyDeleteI almost would not comment, being a bit of the hesitating sort, sometimes. This looks like a very inspirational read, one I could do with right now.
ReplyDeleteThings are about to be changing; I have been thinking about change for a long time now; but what direction do I dare to go; away is a bit too hazy for my liking.
So I am still looking for my courage to chose my way; where my fire is, where my passion may get me into action.
Reading and re-reading your blog helps a lot, so thank you, dear Maya, for sharing, for your ideas, for your recommendations and everything - you have inspired me to allow my desire grow and seeded ideas to nurture it =)
