I got my copy of Women Will Save The World this week, and couldn't have been more excited after reading a pre-book-release interview with the author. With all the noise questioning women's place in society, women's autonomy, and women's impact being made in the current political climate, it is a double-lung-full breath of fresh air to see a book celebrating the achievements and potential of everyday women be published. The book is divided into traits that different women have embodied through their work, whether it's in the creative field, the trailblazing path, or those who've made positive changes in the world through nurturing others. Under each trait, women of historical acclaim are profiled, followed by essays written by women living and working in the world today. My favorite is by Alicia Vargo, who not only founded a lingerie company that caters to women who've undergone surgery for breast cancer, but also founded a house for her employees to stay in rent-free if they were struggling to get on their feet financially. I hope this book gets read by both women and men, and is given to daughters who may be struggling, as is typical of young girls, to figure out what paths are available to them in life. (The answer: every path).

What a perfect book for all women to read! Each page will encourage you and uplift you as a woman doing the best you can every day to juggle all your responsibilities.

The book is divided into subjects. Each subject has a couple of profiles of famous women and some essays from well know and not so well known women. A few of the subjects touched on are creativity, strength and wisdom.

The profiles under each subject are of women who changed the world. These profiles are short but will help you see these special women in a unique way. From Anne Frank to Harriet Tubman each woman’s life story will encourage you to be a better person.

Each essay relates to the subject they are listed under. These are amazing pieces of work! A different person wrote each one. They tell of a certain circumstance that changed their life or outlook on life. These essays are each a few pages long and are definitely worth reading. I found this book to be a real encouragement and because of that I gave it a 5/5 stars.

I would like to thank the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read.

Getting this many women together in one book is a MUST- READ!!!

Women Will Save The World is an insightful and inspirational collaborative. The book is smartly categorized into seven main characteristics honoring women in history and today's modern woman. After each set of essays, there are five self-affirmations that align with what you just read. The affirmations were a nice surprise to remind, enhance and solidify these characteristics within ourselves. This book is an easy and joyful read.

[Cindy Baucom · Rating 1 out of 5]

What a disappointment this book has been after reading all the positive reviews. Divided into sections: collaboration, intuition, nurturing, etc., it contains two brief biographies of mostly obscure women and several essays by obscure women. Some of these essays are really out there! They are often poorly written and don't have any bearing to the particular section they are placed in. It was extremely difficult to find anything positive in any of them. We attempted to read this as a group and discuss it, but it just wasn't suitable for that, and our group ended up giving it up and searching for something better. I can understand why the author had to create a publishing company in order to achieve publishing at all. It really is a warning to beware what people say in reviews and to use your own judgement. In hindsight, if we had been able to look the book over beforehand and not simply ordered it without seeing it in person, we would never have bothered with it.

I don't know what I'm missing here - other people loved this. I did not love it. I didn't even really like it, even though I wanted to. I tried very hard to like it. I found the essays disappointing, and a large portion of the book is very shallow biographies of women in history, art, literature, etc. The wikipedia pages for the individuals have more depth. There are a lot of essays by women about learning to collaborate. There's also a lot of stereotypical male/female stuff and mystical feminine blah blah. Both things I don't particularly care for. I was expecting more feminist essays and essays with just more depth generally. I wanted this to be so much more than it was.

This collection of stories from women all over the U.S. is truly inspiring. The sections of the book reveal the strength and goodness in all women, through many different emotions. I think this is a must read for all women, young and old! The stories are inspiring and provide a message that is not forced upon the reader but gently understood.
