5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and Beautiful, a Real Winner!, June 3, 2009

By	Roberta Sherwood (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Kris Steinnes is a great inspiration to me through her work with Women of Wisdom, which she founded almost 20 years ago. Over the years Kris and a team of volunteers have brought people from around the world to learn from top spiritual leaders of many perspectives. Her recent award-winning, retrospective book, "Women of Wisdom: Empowering the Dreams and Spirit of Women" captures not only the teachings of many of these wise women leaders, but weaves the story of Women of Wisdom in a way that actually embodies the dreams and spirit of women. The book is beautiful, easy to read, has depth of wisdom, and is inspirational. Kris has taken Women of Wisdom from a strongly traditional leadership style into a shared leadership style, again embodying the teachings of Women of Wisdom and bringing them into practice. Kris is a visionary, leader, spirit-filled woman, who inspires not only me but many people around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Women of Wisdom is excelletn, May 21, 2009

By	Judith Orloff "intuitive physician, author Em... (Los Angeles, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Women of Wisdom is a beautiful book that reveals the stories of a cross section of women and the wisdom they have to share. Kris Steinnes has lovingly compiled these stories with fascinating details. I recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration, insight, and courage. Kris also is the tireless founder of the powerful Women of Wisdom organization in Seattle that is dedicated to empowering women and providing conferences to support feminine power in the deepest sense.
