With A WOMAN'S WORTH, Marianne Williamson turns her charismatic voice--and the same empowering, spiritually enlightening wisdom that energized her landmark work, A RETURN TO LOVE-- to exploring the crucial role of women in the world today. Drawing deeply and candidly on her own experiences, the author illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a patriarchal society. Cutting across class, race, religion, and gender, A WOMAN'S WORTH speaks powerfully and persuasively to a generation in need of healing, and in search of harmony.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Williamson ( A Return to Love ) here tells women that they are goddesses with cosmic functions. A weakness: she often lets women hear what they want to hear--how "special" they are, how beautiful, how close to nature. When she draws from her own experience, Williamson gives sound, empowering advice on relationships, work, love, sex and childrearing. Still, her soft focus on the so-called feminine virtues, including that of assuming the submissive role during sex, often seems reactionary and contradictory, as when she argues that women were meant to be passive, but later claims that woman should assert their power. This mix of the mystical, the modern (Williamson says one of her old boyfriends left her for a "bimbo") and the Christian could be called visionary--but the combination doesn't always make sense, as in this statement: "Our Kingdom is our life and our life is our Kingdom. And we are all meant to rule from a glorious place." Author tour.

From Library Journal

This is essentially a feel-good book, meant to inspire and empower women to take control over their lives and help return the world to the feminine qualities from which it has strayed. As in Williamson's best-selling first book, A Return to Love ( LJ 1/92), love is the key. Although Williamson's messsage is admirable--who among us is against the prospect of a world order based on love and understanding with an end to all that is antithetical?--many readers will be put off by the means she posits to that end. Most women do not think in terms of growth from girl to princess to queen to goddess. In addition, her assumption that all women intuitively know what is right is at best optimistic. This work could serve as a starting point for those who have difficulty approaching the concept of feminism. The success of Williamson's first book indicates New Age enthusiasts will be attracted here; aticipate demand where the first was popular. Previewed in Prepub Alert, LJ 1/93.

An important book that not only women should read but men as well

ByRoyceManon February 16, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As a man with spiritual inclinations I though this book was phenomenal and really important for men to read. I am a student of a course in miracles and loved 'A Return to Love" so I wanted to read this book about women. First of all many men these days seem bitter at women and dating. Some men even think it is easier being a women. After reading this book, you can make a case how it is just as difficult being a woman. Williamson relates how the advertising media feed women messages how they are not pretty enough or even good enough. Even some rock n roll music disparages women. Some bitter men today are frustrated at the dating scene and feel lonely, disenfranchised and empty. However Williamson writes about the loneliness and alienation in this culture many women feel and how much many women desire a relationship with a man. Williamson writes how women have to find inner peace first and love themselves before they could attract a health man. If you reverse the genders the same could be said about men. Much of this book what is said about women can be said about men. I was awestruck at how Williamson mentions that many women (and I would say men as well) actually choose to date unhealthy partners because dating a healthy spiritual person could shine a light into ourselves that we are afraid to look at. I call these people "bottom feeders", dating unhealthy people so they can feel better than themselves. For example, a so called "spiritual" man who chooses a woman based solely on her looks/physique but she offers nothing expansive to him just so he can date a "trophy". It could also be a "spiritual" woman who chooses to date a biker "bad boy" with nothing expansive offer but excitement and testosterone.
I would love as man to recommend or give this book to every woman I know but in reality this book will probably not resonate with many women. This is for a highly evolved person who is seeking a stronger inner life. This could be an intimidating book for a lot of people. Williamson calls women to be Priestesses and talks about feminine spiritual power. She mentions before our patriarchal culture emerged as it is today, women were revered for their spiritual power even by men. What I find so important after reading this book is the healing power between the sexes. It seems today that many men and women are getting bitter towards the opposite sex perhaps because many have been hurt in the dating/romance game as it is or have had bad experiences with parent or so called role models of the opposite sex in childhood. The anonymity of the internet has opened the door for hateful forums and websites from so called Mens Rights Activists bashing women. There are even a few "radical feminist" websites with some hateful comments towards men. If all men could read this book, they will see how it is extremely difficult to be a woman in our society when you are fed messages that you are not worthy. In fact unmarried women as Williamson points out are deemed "spinsters" or "old maids" while unmarried men are known just as bachelors. Look at the double standard that terminology. I think that if many men who have given up dating or are bitter at women read this book, they will become more compassionate toward the plight of women in our culture. What an extraordinary book about having the courage to go within to our deepest souls and be honest with ourselves, and ultimately make the world a more loving place for all.

Not Her Usual Caliber

ByTerryon April 23, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Very different from Marianne Williamson's previous writings ... I was unable to 'relate' to her childhood recollections, and didn't feel they added anything to the quality of the story's message.

Should be on every woman's nightstand at some point in her lifetime.

ByReggie and Tracyon July 23, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

They say people come into your life at a time when you need them most. That's what happened here. I had seen Marianne Williamson on Oprah quite a few times over the years. I don't remember what brought me to this book but I sure am glad it did. I listened to it and read it. The words touched me and gave me an insight into myself and my woman hood that I had not ever considered before. This is a MUST read for women! I have purchased several and given them as gifts

A great read

ByNoraKnowson May 4, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I'm still not sure why I bought this book. But when I read it, I exhale in relief at almost every page. Finally, a woman is being honest about what life is like living in a society with other women and men. It's a lot like reading an essay, but it's a beautiful one.

a higher awareness of the feminine essence

Byomehraon November 1, 2000

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

A spiritual look into our self-realization as women. A book for both women and men to acknowledge their feminine powers of compassion, healing, nurturing and intuition. A wonderful call to women to actualize their roles in relationships, family, society and on earth. Marianne's insight is profound and encompassing. I will definitely share this book with other women who I encounter. I have been so moved and filled by her ideas about women's worth that I intend to share those ideas with as many other Filipina women I speak to at conferences and workshops.
This book may at first be hard to digest but as you expand your awareness to a Universal level then the meanings all begin to make sense. Detractors may view this book as anti-men, but this is not the case when you read the book and understand it. On the contrary, she does speak of a balance between both masculine and feminine and a balance between the contributions of men and women within societies that flourished. Read pages 15 to 16 fully and digest the words before you make your own assessment of her meaning. Her book is not anti-men but rather anti-male domination which also means anti-imbalance.
Find out what all of us raving reviewers are talking about. for yourself. Get this book!

My Favorite of Marianne's Book, and One I've Gifted Many Times to Others...

Bylilcreativeon February 3, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is the 17th time I've purchased this book, because I keep giving it away to women I feel will deeply benefit from it. This is a powerful exploration of what it is to embrace one's femininity fully and powerfully - a truly beautiful work from the ever-inspiring Marianne Williamson, you won't want to miss this one. I love her Return to Love, The Gift of Love, and The Gift of Change, but by far, this is my favorite. Definitely worth the click to buy!
