Too many important voices and too many important issues are not heard. The contributors to this book are raising issues that are important for all members of our democracy to consider." - Governor Christine Gregoire, Washington State. Average Rating:

The preface itself is illuminating, with the sad story of an attempt to meet with a U.S. Senator, who was even ready and willing to meet - defeated by the deep-seated cultural assumption that once we've elected someone, we are relegated to listening to THEIR sound bites, or having our photos taken with ...

Women all over the country have thoughtfully chosen words and the images that go along with them that correspond to the values of the feminine. In these times of change, as we rebalance our priorities as a culture, this book is a must read for policy makers and politicians.
