Book Description

April 9, 2001 1577330811 978-1577330813
There is no dignity for many of the world's women but a life filled with despair. Winnie Williams, psychologist, college educatior, and world traveling missionary, spent years studying women from diverse cultures. Women I Can't Forget shares the lives and personal stories of women in third-world countries in a quest to elevate awareness of their plight.

From Albania to China, Peru, India, Haiti and South Africa, Ms Williams describes the everyday lives of women and how they are affected by cultural dogma, and economic and social conditions. Amidst almost overwhelming oppression, Ms Williams also uncovered their feelings of hope along with a timeless desire to be loved and accepted.


Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a must-read for every woman. -- Jo Ella White, author, Jim's Court House

From the Inside Flap

"These fascinating eye-witness accounts make one see and feel what life is like for women who are locked into an existence of subservience in the male-dominated societies of many developing countries. We can thank this intrepid and sensitive author, who made many dangerous and difficult trips to remote areas of these countries and shares here the engaging stories of what she found." -Mary Glazener, author, The Cup of Wrath

"These profiles of unforgettable women provide a stirring reminder of the power of the human spirit to rise above significant cultural and economic barriers. It is clear that these women, and many other unforgettable women just like them, possess an inner strength that shapes and changes our world. A remarkable look at the truly powerful spirit of these women." -David J. Spittal, President, Southern Wesleyan University

"Women I Can’t Forget is a book I can't forget. The stories and the truth revealed here cannot be forgotten or ignored. Winnie Williams has given us powerful and haunting glimpses into the lives of women in other parts of the world. They are women who have been painfully disenfranchised because of religion, history, tradition, power, and male domination. We need to hear their stories because they, too, are our sisters." -Raye Nell Dyer, President, Baptist Women in Ministry, Chaplain, Vanderbilt University Medical Center

"Women I Can’t Forget is a book that will quickly capture your interest. It literally takes you on a journey to other countries, allows you to view different cultural lifestyles and at the same time tells a moving story of the degradation of women and their struggles. This is a must-read book for every woman." -Jo Ella White, author, Jim’s Court House

"Winnie Williams ventured where those of us who consider ourselves sensible thought she shouldn't go.... This book creates mental images vivid enough to ensure that you, too, can’t forget these women." -Sandra A. Reeves, Ed.D. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Women I Can't Forget, March 18, 2001
This review is from: Women I Can't Forget: A Global Traveler Reveals the Struggle and Courage of Women Without Rights (Paperback)
"Women I Can't Forget" is a book about real people, women living in other countries who may live their entire lives sub-servient, never knowing the same freedom of choice we women in America take so for granted. Hardships and sub-standard living is an accepted way of life and few women are willing to challenge for change. Those few who do will slowly bring about change and one day soon smiles of confidence will replace their haunted looks of hopelessness and they can then rejoice in being considered human beings with feelings.
