A Must Read if you're a political woman, 2008-09-30
It's rare that we get to share our opinion in such an honest and open way. Every female studies class should be aware of this personal approach on how to make changes in our country. Purchase this or your female friends, children, nieces, mother and even your grandmother!
 Inspiring, provocative, powerful, 2008-09-19
This is a beautifully conceived book. Each entry begins with a single word, and continues with a short discussion explaining why the contributing author chose that word. As I read each entry, I found myself wondering what my own word would be, what single word would I choose to express at this particular time in our national and global experience? And that's the brilliance of this book. As it brings forward the voice of diverse women from across the US, it invites my voice and your voice and the voice of all concerned and committed people.
What Women Want in the 2008 Elections... and Beyond!, 2008-09-14
While the mostly mainstream media reporting of diverse women's needs and issues that should be substantially addressed in this upcoming watershed election has been extremely biased and limited to personalities and superficial physical representations, the reality of women's lives and what we hope for has been missing in action. "Voices for Change" plans to remedy this void with a demographic and geographic cross-section of women speaking of their highest visions to create a nation and world in which women, families, communities and all can benefit and advance.
This book project can be helpful to open and promote discussion at the kitchen table, in high school and college classrooms, across the divides of race, class and gender and amongst women with differing viewpoints. We need more dialogue and democracy if we are to reclaim our country and increase women's much needed voices and political participation.

A great resource for women politicians...., 2008-08-15
This is a must for every woman in office or planning to run for office. I have given it to several state legislators who have been complimentary to the editors and grateful that they have the book as a resource reminding them of issues that are important to women voters.

Look inside and feel what is real.
