If Women Rose Rooted

If Women Rose Rooted is a rallying cry for women to reawaken their natural power - not just for the sake of their own wellbeing, but for love of this threatened earth.
In this life-changing book that blends myth, memoir and modern day mentors, renowned psychologist Dr Sharon Blackie journeys from the wasteland of modern society to a place of nourishment and connection.&;Mind-blowing. An anthem for all we could be ... I sincerely hope every woman who can read has the time and space to read it.&; Manda Scott, author of Boudica and A Treachery of Spies&;If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees. &;And if we rise up rooted, like trees . . . well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.&;Like Women who Run with the Wolves, this is powerful rallying cry to women to embrace a different kind of femininity. Described as both transformative and essential, Sharon Blackie leads the reader on a quest to find their place in the world, drawing inspiration from the wise and powerful females in native mythology, and guidance from contemporary women who have re-rooted themselves in land and community and taken responsibility for shaping the future.Beautifully written, honest and moving, If Women Rose Rooted is a passionate song to a different kind of femininity, a rallying, feminist cry for the rewilding of womanhood; reclaiming our role as guardians of the land.
