I Am a Woman Finding My Voice: Celebrating The Extraordinary Blessings Of Being A Woman [Paperback]

Janet Quinn (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 18, 1999

This celebration of womanhood, with a foreword by Dr. Joan Borysenko, delights in the joy of the feminine soul. In a time when it might not be politically correct to speak of such a uniquely feminine soul, Quinn takes the position that finding one's own authentic voice is imperative if we are to value a universal livelihood of love and community.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding Voice, August 24, 2000

By 

Phyllis B. Kritek (Galveston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Am a Woman Finding My Voice: Celebrating The Extraordinary Blessings Of Being A Woman (Paperback)

This is Janet Quinn at her best, modeling for women everywhere, of every age, the importance of voice. She tells her story, and in doing so, tells "everywoman's" story, and in finding her voice, she helps all women find voice. I strongly recommend these meditations, both for personal reflection, and as the perfect gift for women. In the first reading, I could not put it down; now, I return for the pause of contemplation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of the "I AM.", August 12, 2000

By 

Cis Dickson (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Am a Woman Finding My Voice: Celebrating The Extraordinary Blessings Of Being A Woman (Paperback)

Thank you Janet Quinn for reminding us of the power of the "I AM" statement. I was inspired to CLAIM my truth; to claim all my parts; to feel all my feelings. And to do all this without judgement.

I recommend this book to all women transitioning to their true selves --- the self not defined by a role, such as mother, wife, friend.

Because of this book, I AM a more whole person. I honor the work it took to create this safe place for all women to find their voice.

I plan to share this book with all my women friends so that the gifts of Janet Quinn's truth-telling benefits us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Altering, May 23, 2000

By 

Denise Webb - See all my reviews

This review is from: I Am a Woman Finding My Voice: Celebrating The Extraordinary Blessings Of Being A Woman (Paperback)

This book gave me a sense of validation and empowerment that cannot easily be found by women. Janet Quinn captures the struggles that women encounter everyday and the true reverence that women have for themselves and everyone around them. I am purchasing several copies as gifts. Every woman should read this book!
