Urgent Message from Mother

A unique combination of visionary thinking and practical how-to, "Urgent Message From Mother" is the most activist work to date from Jean Shinoda Bolen, a writer, analyst, teacher, and leader in the women's empowerment movement. This book seeks to galvanize the still-untapped power of women of all ages acting together to change our world. Bolen explores both the psychological and the scientific aspects of women as leaders together. She points to a UCLA study proving that women react to stress differently than men. Instead of the 'fight or flight' reaction, women have a 'tend and befriend' response as result of an increase in oxytocin, the maternal bonding hormone. From this and other compelling evidence, Bolen makes a strongly convincing case that now is the time for women to lead. And she points us toward the way to do it - gather with other women, see what needs to be done, and do it!
