Book Description

February 23, 2006
Not to be confused with Alice's famous remark on a memorable episode of the Honeymooners, "Men work from sun to sun, but women's works is never done," Women's Works Is Never Done by BJ Gallagher celebrates the fact that women's work is never done because it's never meant to be done. Women are meant to nourish and grow themselves and others, throughout their lives, and Gallagher's book acknowledges and affirms it.

Twenty-six brief chapters outline ways from A-Z in which women fulfill their destinies in their families, commmunities, and friendships. Each is told through an original poem, story, or essay--plus inspirational quotes and informative sidebars-- all components that make Gallagher's books so widely and wildly popular.

Readers will find practical tips and suggestions for enhancing their well-being, while at the same time living, working, and playing to their fullest. Some pages of this beautifully designed gift book will make you laugh, others may bring a tear to your eye, still others may move you to pick up the phone and call a special woman in your life. All are guaranteed to lift your spirit, touch your heart, and lighten your load.

4.0 out of 5 stars Practical reminders!, February 26, 2006
By 
This review is from: Women's Work Is Never Done: Celebrating Everything Women Do (Hardcover)
What a cool book for your own enjoyment and bedside reading--or a fabulous gift for any female in your life.

The author arranged her thoughts alphabetically. Some examples are:

A: Affirm our own and each other's worth.
H: Heed our intuitive wisdom.
P: Prepare our children for life.
V: Veer away from negative people.

You get the idea. Each chapter starts with quotes like in C: Commit to Excellence's, "The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for." This is by Maureen Dowd, syndicated newspaper columnist. Then there is a little story, Tips & Tools and sometimes poetry in each letter's section.

In U: Understand your finances is the advice that "a man is not a financial plan," --good advice for single and married women.

Each section is better than the one before. This book is a keeper you'll go back to often for inspiration, insight, laughter and a "good think."

Armchair Interviews says: Good practical reminders in an interesting presentation worth any woman's time.
