June 24, 2022 will stand in infamy as the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the landmark case known as Roe v. Wade which gave women sovereignty over their own bodies with regard to abortion. That sovereignty is now being given back to the States and women will have no say as to what happens to them.This turning back of the clock is not just in America. Women all over the world are nothing more than a commodity and we are still being raped and plundered; our right to do with our bodies as we choose once again on the chopping block.As women from around the world and from a variety of situations weigh in on this new attack, Women's Sovereignty and Body Autonomy Beyond Roe v. Wade addresses the concerns and opinions of women from around the planet. Through art and poetry, prose and personal accounts, this shared atrocity that continues to be forced on women is brought into a new light with a rebel resolve that screams "NO MORE"!

Whatever Works is a unique collection of writing by feminists of diverse faiths from around the world. This anthology combines personal essays, poems, and academic musings with the goal of sparking conversations among women of all faith backgrounds. Religion plays a key role in defining and maintaining value systems, and yet it is often disregarded within feminism itself. This book shares the stories of highly diverse women with the hope that we can find collective solutions to the global problems that plague women and girls living under patriarchy.

Tell Me Why is a feminist twist of the creation story told with love from a mother to her son, in hopes of crafting a different world for them both.This is the third (newly revised) book in The Girl God series, written specifically with boys in mind."Men, too, need the feminine divine in order to reconcile with, recover, and honor the repressed and denied feminine aspects of their own being and becoming." -Jane Caputi

There is, perhaps, no more powerful archetype of female resistance than Lilith. As women across the globe rise up against the patriarchy, Lilith stands beside them, misogyny's original challenger. This anthology-a chorus of voices hitting chords of defiance, liberation, anger and joy-reclaims the goodness of women bold enough to hold tight to their essence. Through poetry, prose, incantation, prayer and imagery, women from all walks of life invite you to join them in the revolutionary act of claiming their place-of reclaiming themselves.

The Goddess has been in the background for five millennia, while the patriarchal "Father God" has monopolized the stage-and the spotlight. Now it''s HER turn to shine! And shine She does through the beautiful, inspiring Herms and artwork of so many talented, Goddess-loving Women included in this book.What is a Hermnal? It''s the collective sigh of our ancestral Grandmothers. It''s a means of drawing us closer together as Sisters. It is a compilation of songs that affirms our Sacredness, apart from Man, and assures us that we are Sovereign Beings and Creatrixes, too. And it is our Love Gift of Gratitude to Mama.

More than 45 single mothers from around the world share their struggles and triumphs via essays, poems, art and critique. As Glenys Livingstone Ph.D. wrote in her review, "These are voices that need to be heard ... yet so many block their ears: the pain of memory and/or recognition may be too much. These stories speak a deep essential truth about the global cultural context for those engaged in maternal care, and where lies the illnesses of our times...This anthology furthers and encourages the speaking of women''s truths, which often does indeed split the world open."

A loving tribute to Mother Earth and a call to action for children, their parents and grandparents.This newly revised edition contains gorgeous illustrations by Elisabeth Slettnes as well as inspiring poetry and quotes from Vandana Shiva, Sue Monk Kidd, Rachel Carson, Alice Walker, Winona LaDuke, Ursula K. Le Guin, Starhawk, Audre Lorde, Arundhati Roy, Dr. Jane Goodall and many others.

When we think of Inanna, she is usually envisioned as the descending Goddess-and often, it is her time spent in the Underworld that most alluded to. While the Underworld, or the "shadow" is vital, it is equally important to remember what happens after the time spent in the darkness, the void, or the long dark tunnel. We descend our entire lives it seems-only coming up for brief moments of respite. Patriarchy pushes us down repeatedly-and sometimes, we just stay there.Inanna's Ascent examines how women can rise from the underworld and reclaim their power. All contributors are extraordinary women in their own right, who have been through some difficult life lessons-and are brave enough to share their stories.

Magically illustrated by Elisabeth Slettnes with quotes from various faith traditions & feminist thinkers.Praise for The Girl God"The Girl God: a picture book to show girls that god can be a girl, god is inside, god is an idea, a positive action or good deed, god is open to creative interpretation and should be about everyone. A great book to dispel the myth that god is male with wonderful illustrations by Elisabeth Slettnes. Empowerment for our girl children." -a girl's guide to taking over the world"A deceptively simple story about a whimsical young girl named Helani Claire, who would make Emily Dickinson smile as she deconstructs the patriarchal god of her father with the bluntness of a child. Akin to: If Kate Chopin was still alive, writing (and self-publishing) children's books. Elisabeth Slettnes' colorful paintings are feasts for the spirit, as are the addition of selected quotes and poems. Wisdom abounds." -Philadelphia Weekly"This book will be one I treasure, for it is rare indeed-the articulation of the divine feminine for both children and adults, a bridge between our spiritual beginning and our spiritual future, a spark for the reawakening of humanity." -Elizabeth Hall Magill, author of Defining Sexism"This is a delightfully rich book that can spark conversation and reflection on many levels -and one worth returning to again and again." -David Weiss, author of When God Was a Little Girl"This book is a must for our daughters." -Christy Turlington"...a remarkable addition to interfaith literature for children and especially for young girls." -North American Interfaith Network
