Reviews

“The best use of A Force Such as the World Has Never Known: Women Creating Change will be as a primary text in leadership training courses for the 21st century. Three stories a week for a semester would offer a rich diet, inspiring long conversations about core values, leadership, and transforming the world. For men as well as women, please, for whom it should be at least as valuable. If you care about what women can teach us about healing the world, buy your own copy. It’s an interspiritual feast.”–The Interfaith Observer”Other stories by other women, all of them privy to assertive self-esteem, abound in this work. Collectively, they are a statement — that women across the world are moving on, that with men running out of ideas about the world, it is time for women to govern, to save the Earth.”–The Daily Star
