TIMELESS... UNDENIABLY COMPELLING. -- RedbookHow strange that this should be the club we belong to: women who have been to hell and back. But we all understand what this means.

Our feelings have blended. Our stories converge.So begins the extraordinary new book by one of today's most renowned and influential spiritual leaders. A hugely popular proponent and interpreter of A Course in Miracles, Marianne Williamson has made a phenomenal impact on audiences worldwide, via her captivating lectures and TV appearances.With A Woman's Worth, Williamson turns her charismatic voice -- and the same empowering, spiritually enlightening wisdom that energized her landmark work, A Return to Love -- to exploring the crucial role of women in the world today. Drawing deeply and candidly on her own experiences, the author illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a patriarchal society.Cutting across class, race, religion, and gender, A Woman's Worth speaks powerfully and persuasively to a generation in need of healing, and in search of harmony.IMPASSIONED, INTENSE. -- MirabellaMarianne Williamson is blessed with the ability to get to the kernel of truth....
