Publisher's Synopsis
A Voice for Now is a powerful and provocative read. It is a wake-up call to women of all ages to look beyond the personal -- beyond our individual frustrations or achievements -- to understand what has fallen out of balance. A Voice for Now breaks new ground, its perceptions providing a breath of fresh air in the stale climate of current debate between men and women. This absorbing read uses a subtle approach to move women from dependence, through independence to gentle anarchy. A Voice for Now is novel in content and format, and interweaves thought-provoking ideas with the moving and compelling story of the characters whose lives form the shape of this book. A Voice for Now asks important questions:· Why does unacknowledged envy and competition between women so often undermine our potential cooperation?· Why do so many women still see men on a higher footing than themselves?· Why, despite external competence and confidence, do so many women suffer internally from chronic self-doubt?· How can we balance our love for others with clear and necessary anger?
