Riassunto

A life-changing journey from the wasteland of modern society to a place of nourishment and connection. If Women Rose Rooted has been 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 cry for women to reawaken their natural power - not just for the sake of their own wellbeing, but for love of this threatened earth.

Recensione

"I love this book. Truly, it's mind-blowing in the most profound and exhilarating sense. This is an anthem for all we could be, an essential book for this, the most critical of recent times. I sincerely hope every woman who can read is given one, and has the time and the space to read it." -- Manda Scott, author of Boudica and Into the Fire

"Women have long been told to 'know our place'. This powerful and inspiring exploration of the female relationship with landscape turns the diktat around, showing us what may be gained from doing just that." -- Melissa Harrison, author of Clay and At Hawthorn Time

"Blackie does an admirable job of describing a beautiful, rich, intoxicating, messy, terrifying and ultimately illuminating pathway into the heart of the land and of our own souls. Recommended." -- Sharon Paice Macleod, SageWoman

"A beautiful, intelligent and unusual book... I'm hoping this book will become the anthem of our generation." -- Kate Forsyth, author of Bitter Greens, The Wild Girl and The Beast's Garden

"It was one of those rare times when I felt as if by some means of synchronicity, the right book reached me at exactly the right moment." -- Dreaming in Stitches

"This book has the power to change lives, I truly believe that... A real game changer." -- The Way of the Buzzard

"It is heartening to read a progressive view of the women's movement and one that links with care for the Earth and all living beings. This book is very well recommended." -- GreenSpirit magazine

"Drawing on ancient mythology and ways of life, especially those of the Celtic tradition, [Blackie] interweaves ancient wisdom with contemporary contexts to create a richly interesting perspective on other ways of living." -- LoveReading
