Book Description

Publication Date: October 1998

"Where do we go from here, and what, practically, must we do to get there?" When the contributors to this work were asked this question, the response was immediate and impassioned. Leading women thinkers--psychologists, writers, futurists, environmentalists, business consultants, activists, and artists--representing the broadest spectrum of religion, philosophy, spirituality, and ethnicity surveyed the cultural landscape and offered their collective insight into how we can navigate these turbulent times. Unabridged excerpts. Available now.

From AudioFile

Female psychologists, writers, artists, activists, business professionals were asked: "Where do we go from here, and what, practically, must we do to get there?" The responses incorporated feminism, Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, and the influences of varying cultural backgrounds. The future is described by a multitude of performers, as depicted by women from all walks of life. The messages are wise, spiritual, courageous, intelligent and insightful. These performances add a unique variety of interpretation, as well as respect for the seriousness of the topic and the beauty of the visionary responses. B.J.P. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Essays by Forward Thinking Women of our Time, April 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fabric of the Future: Women Visionaries Illuminate the Path to Tomorrow (Audio Cassette)

This book made me glad to be a woman. In so many ways our society says women are defective. This book is a wonderful collection of essays by some of the brightest, most articulate women. It has wonderful language from so many authors affirming women and affirming how we can change the world. I particularly enjoyed Cheri Huber, Riane Eisler, Brooke Medicine Eagle, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and all the authors have something important to say. The listing of on-line resources is terrific. The book is very optimistic (and the on-line resources even more so) about the possibility of creating a good future.
