Enough of: pressure to conform to restrictive beauty and body image standards, inequality in pay, carrying the domestic load as well as the lion’s share of caring responsibilities, and the endemic sexism and male violence in our society. In short, all that most women in the Western world have to contend with on a daily basis by being brought up and living in an inherently sexist, patriarchal culture.

 

BEING A WOMAN holds the antidote to the poison that infuses our lives. It’s an eye-opening journey through our lives as women and girls, and answers the questions:

 

Where are we? How did we get here? Where do we go from here?

 

Lynn B. Mann has written a roadmap to help every woman navigate the terrain from overwhelm, frustration and anger, towards awareness, understanding, and empowerment. And it’s also for every man who wants to understand more, and be part of the change that would create different experiences for all of us.
