Women and Power: Gaining Back Control

In this book the author brings together many everyday occurences and makes straight toward connections. She rejects all the male notions of power by simply saying that theirs is nearly always merely an observation of power. By uniquely taking us back to the sources of power Vida Pearson demonstrates that we too can be an are powerful women. She backs up her argument with sound and unusual practical ideas to clarify understanding our personal powers. The chapters are arranged so that the reader questions her emotional outlook on life first. Then, we consider those physical dimensioins of living which have been too long male-dominated. Liftingweight, Surviving and enjoying the outdoors, Health and Safety and the built environment and Dealing with Violence. This is a refreshing and original approach. We are taken back to the beginning so that we can start again. In today's high-speed, high-stress world we have good reason to pause, be still and question what our fundamental values really are.
