A Woman's Worth

This book offers great insight to mindfulness about being a woman, but need a revision to be more appropriate for today... 2012. Bought a few for my friends and they all said the same thing. Would love to have a revised edition.

Though I have yet finished, I did managed to make it half way through. This book is very beautifully written. It's mystifying appeal makes even the mere of thought of acknowledging your womanhood feel completely exhilarating! I stopped mid-way only because, as good as it was, it wasn't something I felt like continuing. Williamson packs in more than enough, and after a few couple chapters, enough was good for me.

I read this book for the first time the year it was published. It changed how I viewed myself as a young woman, and has since for the past 20+ years been a touch stone I have returned to again and again to ground me, inspire me, and influence the work I do in the world around women's empowerment. This book is as relevant now as it was when it was written. I urge every woman to read it. And give it to your daughters too.

I've read another book by Marianne Williamson, which I liked. However, this book reads very stream of consciousness and doesn't make sense at some points. Also, it is written in an opinion/rant style that is more typical of someone posting on social media. I paid $11.99 for the Kindle edition and I feel for the quality of this book, I should have only paid $1.99.

I'm very disappointed with this incoherent political judgmental ramble. I have expected something spiritually astute, but apparently I made a wrong judgement on Williamson. The book is mediocre at best. Strangely she managed to sound very subjective without even talking about herself. Not my kind of hero. I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but I just have a sense that the author is parading as something she is not. There is an epidemic of 'spiritual' leaders, who have mastered the intellectual language of love but are far from embodying the principles. This is the sense I get when I hear Marianne.

This book is incredibly uplifting. Nearly every line is a gem worth remembering. The author finds the perfect balance of spirituality without religious dogma. This book makes an excellent gift, to any woman, of any age.

I don't even have any words to describe this book. I got through a couple of chapters and not only did not pass it on, I threw it away. I have read her other books and have gotten a lot out of them. Not sure what happened here.

She quotes, "And when we try to speak it, were liable to be told, there you go complaining--again." The entire first chapter is ranting and complaining! She makes no effort to acknowledge the woman overseas that are suffering far worse than any American women.

She talks about being enchanted, we all are light workers and when we accept our male and feminine side we shine light in our own personal ways. The way I heal and shine light unto others is in my own personal way and not her imposed way. Again she assumes based of her own opinion.

The entire book, she rambles and never makes one strong point.

She also tells you to go pray under the statue of Mary, what an imposer!

She claims our intuitive strengths and healing is not respected now and that is false. Thousands of men and women call up healers, life coaches, accupuncture, counseling, and intuitive counselors for guidance with respect. No one can tell you you're worth and she tries to. Your values, standards and beliefs are what you establish to worth yourself, not Merriam Williamson imposing her ideals.

She contradicts herself in the book.Here is one; She claims that it is unfair women are not taken as serious or have the same opportunities in the order, structure area of society.Near the end of the book she complains again that women are oppressed by force of order and structure. She complains we dont get enough initiation in areas of order and structure then complains that we are oppressed with it.

Many women are currently thriving in prestigious careers with order and structure and shine their light while being leaders of inspiration. She would realize that if she got out of her head and faced reality and did not only look to what she wanted to see. Some women heal with Truth and Justice. Not all are balls of soft tissue for their Chosen careers and they still can heal, nurture and access their intuition.

Many women like or wish to have structure and order in their life. Divine ordering your thoughts are instilled by most Priestesses. We can Discipline our emotions and succeed in prestigious careers and thrive.

The book is a bunch of Imposing ideals and opinions and makes no points. She rambles her thoughts.

I consider her an insult to a woman's worth and an insult to impose her ideal of worth upon all female kind. She makes no effort to have empathy for the women all around the world now and talks about her pity too much. I don't care to worship any statue! I will honor my own spirit!

My opinion, in a nutshell and ill spare you pity and sob stories:

Accept your- self, have courage to lead, discipline your emotions, develop empathy for men and women and shine your light. Connect to your Divine Spirit self for inspiration. You CAN be heard and not be considered a complainer. Who you choose to give nurture, love and compassion to is based off your values, standards and beliefs and your way of shining light is not going to be the same as another, while being just as important.

We can be non emotional objective intelligent Leaders and be healers. We can be both.

""A person's worth is contingent upon who he is, not upon what he does, or how much he has. The worth of a person, or a thing, or an idea, is in being, not in doing, not in having."

-- Alice Mary Hilton

As a human being, as spirit manifested in form, you are innately worthy. Your worthiness does not have to be strengthened or improved. However, you may not PERCEIVE yourself to be worthy.

If you doubt your self-worth, consciously or unconsciously, you will limit the good things you will allow into your life.

Do you consider yourself worthy? It may help to answer these questions:

- Do you find it easier to give than to receive?
- Do you have as much money as you would like?
- Do you feel driven to improve yourself?
- Do you value other people's time more highly than your own?
- How would you feel if someone offered to pay you a salary of $1 million/year?

If you find you lack self-worth, don't despair. Just being aware of your self-worth issues will help you let them go.

"Every achiever that I have ever met says, `My life turned around when I began to believe in me.'"

"We cannot achieve more in life than what we believe in our heart of hearts we deserve to have."

-- James R. Ball

This is the worst feminist, tree hugger, nonsense book I have ever pretended to try to read for school in my life. If you've ever seen the Friends episode where monica, rachel, and pheobe read the book about the Goddesses and the Wind Keepers you have no need to read this book. It astonishes me that any university would require such a nonsense text....

I'm of mixed feelings because the book was preachy. It didn't have passion and soul, for me. I respect the part about letting the goddess first come in your own heart, and that we cannot idolize other women. Those other women are busy being themselves, and some women aren't worthy of being idols. I get that. Some parts of the book was a repeat of what we already know - sometimes women suppress themselves and their voices because of the proliferation of being burned at the stake, which is still happening, on a symbolic basis, today. I get all of that. I guess I was expecting this to be groundbreaking. Marianne Williamson is a favorite of Ms. Oprah's, so I expected more. However, this is 20 years old, so maybe that has something to do with it.

On the other hand, there were profound insights one moment, and disjointed banter the next. For instance, one passage spoke of how we (men and women) lie to each other. In other words, we front/pretend that we do not like each other. That same message ends with, "we have become sluts and whores and barren of poetry." Being called sluts and whores is a bit harsh and bothersome, but what's really bothersome is that we are "barren of poetry". I know what she means, but it just seem to not fit here with the theme of this passage. It seems she was high or just writing her stream of consciousness at the time. You really have to sift through some stuff, to get the gold nuggets. This books was work and hard to read. I expect most self-help/spiritual books to be work, inner work, but this was a different kind of work. You have to piece together ideas or just skip some of them altogether. This book had lots of potential, but overall it fell flat.

You are all right but also all wrong. Her basics are inpecable (self observation, meditation, prayer). Her many opinions - take'm or leave'm, see your own for what they are - ego. Marianne breaks new ground in all her books & says what she feels & thinks without trying to please everyone. The new ground is her emphasis on prayer so neglected, even by her own sources (Ospensky) but absolutely crucial. None of us are any better or worse than any of us. No exceptions.
Rock, blues & jazz lyrics seem to play central. Fairy tales as analog-parable of life teachings are insightful. Nothing on dreams but treat them likewise with conscious self review on awakening. She takes the Mysic into new areas & like everyone needs to see & be seen thru. So do it. See thru yourself.
Her newest, not releasing 'til June, is already a best seller. From the previews I expect it to be her best yet. Cursing & all.

I can't even begin to express how this book resonated within my heart. Everyone woman needs to read this a few times to bury this truth deep within her heart, mind, and soul. If you need to be uplifted, encouraged, or really truly shown your worth, this is the book for you to pick up. I underlined over half this book, and I indeed want to let every word soak deep within me until I truly grasp my worth as a woman. This was the perfect book for a rough time in my life, and it has shone a light on me that otherwise would have been unexposed.

Marianne notes in her preface to "A Woman's Worth" that "In writing this book, I have no purpose other than a creative spill of my own guts." And that's a good way to characterize the book. It is written almost as notes to herself that are being shared with others. Unlike my favorite book by her, "Everyday Grace" which was about hope, forgiveness and miracles, there is no real overriding message to this book.

Marianne Williamson is a good writer, so the book is still an enjoyable read and she does make some good points, such as:
- We are responsible for how we see ourselves
- The truth is there when the mind is ready to receive it
- Children remind us of what's important
- The biggest limit to our having is our small reach

But by and large, the book seems to be mainly venting about the way she believes men treat women in our culture (i.e. as the weaker sex and as sexual objects.) She is particulary upset by the way older women are treated, noting, "Your youth is the measure of your worth, and your age is the measure of your worthlessness."

If you're interested in Marianne's work, I would recommend some of her other books, like "Everyday Grace" or "A Return to Love" or even her most recent book, "The Age of Miracles."

The heart of a woman lies, according to Marianne, in the secret interior of the heart. She talks a lot about the body and mind, and how they come together to form the feelings we have had about each other, and as human beings, to our sexual spirits and ideals.
Her diverse iconography of language in this wonderfully written book divests to us the true beauty of a woman. Naked, powerful, unfathomable. With her distinct breath, a woman reveals her instinct as a Goddess and as a spiritual animal, capable of both honoring the goddess and loving her sensibility.
The religion she refers to (in the book as in A Return to Love) is a mainly Judeo-Christian one, one also bound to be a fatigue to most readers interested in the spirit. I say this with clarity, because I came from the religion she talks about, and it is a very sad religion, because it takes away women's power over their bodies, and ultimately, truth. I think she uses words like God and King and Heaven to illustrate her point of view, and not name any one point or place or whatever. It's her choice of words that may throw some people off, but in the end, you will see an immaculate dialogue forming between the characters in her mythical tale and her worldview of the reality of how little woman's bodily nature has been revered, and how decimated she has become, because of this.
I hope you will read this book! It's a wonderful work about women who are searching for answers on how to live fully, openly gracious, and more considerate of those around them. If you like this please buy her other treatise on love, "A Return to Love".

Williamson goes far deeper and wider than psychological self help normally can. In dealing with our self-image problems, she walks through mental walls between personal, social, spiritual and worldly concerns. She shows how the big picture of our significance looks from her open-hearted view. For Williamson, love and marriage are not just necessary "conventions of the world"; they are schools of the soul: "... that is why we learn to love: to care so completely for one other person that our hearts break open wide and we learn to love them all". (p. 99)

The expansion of context brings a flood of light, more uplifting than any exhortation to positive thinking.

This is my opinion reguarding most of her books expect for Enchanted Love that is the book of hers to read if you ever read a book of hers.What I like about this book is it very short and I was able to finish it in a day because I read fast.Also in this book she doesn't quote the Course in Miracles as much as she does in other books.In the past I almost flushed her Return To Love book down the toliet because she quoted ted a Course in Miracles alot rather then voice her own opinion on things.It's ok to quote a Course In Miracles,but don't have those quote's be your opinion.In this book she talks about herself here and there and voices her opinion on society in general which seems to be a common theme in all of her books in general,but in this book she talks about ways to empower woman which is why I have giving it to some friends and my mom has read it as well.She also mentions stories of strong woman as well.What I don't like about this book is it had alot of criticism and negative things at times and almost like complaining at times which is a turn off.Other then that this is a good book to read if you like Marianne Williamson and your not a big reader.

Here's a book that guides women back to their true essence.
The Goddess within every woman is embraced, honored and adored in A Woman's Worth. If we ever doubted the feminine beauty, Marianne Williamson passionately weaves a modern mystical tale reminding us of Her necessity.
In countless ways she gives testimony to the love and goodness all women can provide the world. It is the feminine in all of us that brings the finer subtleties to life fulfilling what Nature craves. It is the responsibility of men and women alike to balance our masculine communities, our masculine governments, our masculine ways. It is through our own gracefulness that we attune ourselves to the highest good.
Throughout her passionate commentary of her own life and the lives' of women, Marianne teaches how to embrace all that is feminine. From chapters Glorious Queens and Slavegirls to The Castle Walls, her personal, intuitive insights move all of us to cultivate that which is pure in our being. In order to develop the Goddess within, appreciation is given to the necessity of pain in our lives while the importance of forgiveness, patience, and understanding is encouraged. At any stage in our personal development journey all can benefit from Marianne's conversational and uplifting prose.
Finally, this is the book that will take you to higher plains in your development.

This book reminds you of your greatness as a woman. Thank you Ms. Williamson for reminding me of it being okay to do well and be the best I can be....be the goddess I was born to be. For years, I have been less than as a person to make others comfortable around me. This book supports what I always knew. Pick this book up and pass it along to those you love....

Marianne is the author of "A Return To Love" which was a book recommeded to me by a dear friend at the beginning of my quest for something "deeper" in this thing we call life. I devoured the book. So as I often do when visiting my local book store, I searched for more of her wonderful expressions of love in book form. "A Woman's Worth" nearly jumped off the shelf and into my hands. I knew it was meant to be.

Marianne draws on her own experiences as a woman and her story cuts across race, gender, religion and class to make a statement about the undeniably distinct value of womanhood. This book makes no bones about the fact that women are worthy of love, respect, desire, joy, happiness, faith and a life filled with purpose. However, as worthy as we are, it is up to each of us to demand the same with "loving kid-gloves" and not force. Realize our history, be present for today and know our desires for our future - and fully accept the gift of our individual glory as a woman.

If you are searching for a read that will empower you as a woman, give you pause for spiritual growth and encourage you to step up to the plate, then I highly recommend "A Woman's Worth". After all, aren't we worth it?

this is a wonderful empowering book showing our divine nature, like the great masters of the big religions also are seeing it. you can read it eg in Jesus The Book how Jesus treated women equal to men beside the cultural and social structures of that time. it's a matter of fact that many of the teachings from the time of the appearances of the big religions were re-written by men who wanted the power of feminity to fade away. so, but here we are back and this book is adding to a wonderful new self-experience to women!! thank you marianne!

4 years ago I came across a copy of this book, and spent a joyful afternoon reading her words and contemplating my own worth. This book nourished my soul. I felt like she was speaking directly to me, and thank God, I listened! My life was forever changed. This book had such an impact on me that words cannot convey. I ended my self-destruction that day, and discovered a sense of worth that I had never known. This book is the perfect gift for a daughter graduating from high school, or for any woman who has yet to discover her own vital place in this world.

Men who desire more meaningful discussion, men who want to have a greater flexibility and power with the woman in their lives owe it to themselves to read this book in earnest. I am studying in with profit, and it has added depth, and a greater breadth and scope to my interactions with the woman. Come on guys, let's elevate our consciousness to the point where we can intuit, and feel, where we can allow for vulnerability and sensitive expression. We can still do this and maintain a hero/power status.

My name is Collette,

and this book is full of gushy, trite nonsense and gender stereotypes (about women especially...and men, too).

It's even worse than Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gray.

Much of it is written in an embarrassingly little girlish, empty-headed kind of way...castles and princesses and weepy-eyed sentiment figure large in this book.

Don't waste your time with this pretentious, "touchy-feely," infantile drivel.

Excellent book; was given to me as a gift at the perfect time, and I have gifted copies to women who were ready for it. Part of my permanent collection. This is not a self help or feel good book. It helps open your eyes and mind to what is most important in your life, and get to the core of your being. If you cannot read between the lines of what the writer is saying, you will find this book vague and superficial. If that is the case, put it away for a year and come back to it. When the student is ready, the teacher arrives.

Marrianne Williamson's work is both real and honest. Rather than couch things in a concepts that are alien or extremely religious, she talks to you about the realities of existing. Of how things will not always be easy, about how you will lose your way, and honestly how to see people clearly. Growth is messy, it's not neat, maturity is not easy, nor is spirtiuality delicate work, but with assistance from a tape like this you can see yourself clearly and how to bridge yourself from concept to human to spiritual being.

I have several close friends in relationships that are, shall we say, less than ideal, and they need to be reminded of how precious they truly are. This book is their inspiration right now. I'm so glad that Marianne Williamson knows what women need so we can lead healthier, more spirit-filled lives.

There were some points that Ms. Williamson brought up that I had already discovered in life on my own and there were others that I knew existed but have to accept. Basically, this book is about common sense. I would have enjoyed the book better had it not been for some profanity that could have easily been avoided. This book is not one of my best readings but it is an interesting book to pass time. I would recommend this book to others with reservation.

Ahhh, Marianne. You have given us the ability to re-discover the Goddess within. All your books are priceless gems for the soul. I re-read your books so often, they are falling apart. A Woman's Worth is lovely and genuine and I nodded my head in agreement through each and every page. Thank you for letting your Goddess emerge in such a helpful way. Sharon Elaine, author of "The Book of Affirmations"

I read, I stop, I underline, I think, I smile a knowing smile. I read, I stop, I underline, I make a note about my worth. I read, I stop, I remember why I am here and honor all of the women before me. Whether I knew those women or not, they carved out the path of my existence. Their tears are the oceans I swim in and they set me afloat. I have read two other of Marianne Williamson's books, but those don't even compare to the simple, bold, in your face message of the value of your worth as a woman. I wish Marianne had a twin brother to write A Man's Worth, but she does graciously pay tribute to Sam Keen's Fire in the Belly on the very first page. See, always a woman to think of others and nurture the universe! Mostly, Madame Williamsons' book just made me feel so worthy of the gift of me. I am accountable to and of myself and it is my obligation to share the best of myself. So many juicy quotes, so many rich, alive, statements. This book HONORS MEN and WOMEN and CHILDREN simply by recognizing the golden opportunity we each have in being in love and living of love every day. That is the essence of all of our worth.

I just LOVED this book. I am a firm believer that books should be borrowed from a library first and that's what I did with this book. Occasionally, I decide at some point during reading a book that I must own it. This is one of those books. By far my favorite book by Williamson. It liberates women and inspires them. Beautifully written, easy to read, emotional and strong. I bought this book so I could go back and underline the passages that resonated with me the most. I would recommend this book to just about any female (or a liberated male!)

This book reminds you of your greatness as a woman. Thank you Ms. Williamson for reminding me of it being okay to do well and be the best I can be....be the goddess I was born to be. For years, I have been less than as a person to make others comfortable around me. This book supports what I always knew. Pick this book up and pass it along to those you love....

I came across her tapes at a teacher's garage sale. The woman told me that they were great, but I had never listened to inspirational tapes before. I was hesitant, but the price was taunting so I took them home. I made the mistake of first listening to her tapes with my boyfriend in the car....not a good idea to start off with! So I dropped him off and tried again. This time without any snickers from him it was easier to give my full attention. They exceeded my expectations of what I thought the book might be about! Her words moved me to restart a new way of thinking about my own journey through life. I can't wait to read more from her! She is so inspiring!!! I think now I am going to MAKE my boyfriend listen to them. I think it would help him understand me better.... if possible!

This book is excellent. It helped me see that my value is not in what the world, or what our male-dominated society, thinks is important. If we are all thinking like men, what kind of society is that? Maybe one where all differences are settled by war? There is a balance that should be attained, for the world to operate in harmony. This also allows you to be the best you.
It is well put in one quote from the book, "Until we know our own power, we will constantly seek it in others, particularly in men, and power sought that way never saves us; it destroys us." This book teaches us to know our own power. It will help you find your light, your peace, your power, your smile.

I don't mean to sound corny, but this book and Ms. Williamson's "Return to Love" changed my life. I gave both of these books to my mother and sister for Christmas. One of my best friends turned me on to the works of Marianne Williamson--I have also the same for other friends. Feeling good about yourself, and doing good for others is priceless! It does not matter, where you are from, your age, your height, your weight. There is nothing that a woman cannot do. Marianne just helps you to realize it.

I love this book. I wish the woman who panned it would give it a read. I agree that some of the author's other books are ... narrowly focused. This book, however, is not. It made me feel better about being a woman. It helped me apprecate the differences between women and men. It has helped me heal after being hurt in relationship. It has made me feel better about my "imperfect" body. It makes me feel beautiful and powerful and valuable - in a word - WORTHY of a wonderful life. It also points out to me that having a wonderful life is my responsibility. It may contain a romantic relationship - it may not - but it can still be wonderful.

I am an avid reader-and never before have I come across such an amazing book. It saved and changed my life. My book- now 7 years old- was given to me by my Mother when she knew her words were not enough to help her struggiling 19 year old daughter who was trying to find her way in the world. Now it sits on my bedside table, and like the Velveteen Rabbit it is very loved w/ all of it's dog ears and notes in the margins. It has become my life manual, my pick-me-up and my touchstone. It is of benefit to any woman who needs to remember how divine she is and gives us all permission not to be ashamed of being the Princesses that we are and striving to one day become Queens.

When i started reading the book I was overtaken by emotion. I crave hearing about what is good about women. She has a great talent for writing a "call-to-arms" and digs deep into some shared experiences.
Then at some point I realized her ideas about women were limiting to me. Her vision of women is very typical and even stereotypical. It assumes all women are good nurturers, heterosexual and looking for a long term relationship. To some extent it implies women are forced into competitive or leadership roles they don't actually enjoy.

These are some quotes that alerted me:
"Most of us want a masculine man, but there's no way to have one unless we become a feminine woman"
"Our burgeoning sexuality didn't just freak out Daddy, who was attracted and repelled at the same time. It freaked out Mommy too, who was jealous, and our teachers who had similar projections."
"A woman is meant to hold the heart of the world within her hands. She must cater to it and minister to it and kiss it when it cries... we are meant to prepare the food, the spiritual food of love and compassion. We are meant to care for the children, not just our own, but every child. When we do not recognize our cosmic function, our own hearts break and so does the heart of the world"

there are many other quotes that had me perk up my ears.
It's confusing to have these things uttered by someone who is pro-woman in some ways. I had to write this review to un-confuse myself.

I expected this to be more of a religious-type book: "THE Bible says...." It was nothing like that!!! One of my pleasant surprises was that the author is pro-choice!

There was also a humorous reference to any female matriarch needing a king-size bed for family gatherings! It simply flows along and you feel like jumping for joy that you're female.

It also dwells extensively on women and their relationships to men. I felt alternately chastised and understood!

I'm requiring both my girls, ages 21 and 16 to read it!

So often, whether we realize it or not, what is feminine is seen as weaker than what is masculine. Many women have fallen for this definition. A Woman's Worth explains how through thousands of years this was accomplished. This book illustrates how important it is for women to honor other women and how to get in touch with the best that is within you. I have the book on tape and think it's easier to follow with the author reading it. I've given it as a gift to several women and I'd had male friends suggest it would be an excellent gift to give to men as well. Not a hoaky self-book, a true spiritual journey if you're ready for it.

Marianne Williamson puts forth in this beautiful book, what we all know. Deep down in the bottom of our soul, we know that we're here for a purpose. We know that God created us and that for centuries we have been silenced, denigrated and devalued. Yes, we know we are powerful, but many of us have forgotten.
Read this book and remember. And then buy one for your sister, your best friend, your mother and your daughter.

I haven't read this book, to be honest. Yet, knowing that Marianne Williamson touts "A Course in Miracles" as the source of her spiritual guidance, how does she justify "a woman's worth" and prayer to a "goddess" when the Course specifically states that we are not bodies, and that the sole source of our illusion of a world is the idea of separation? Did she even read the Course? "A Return to Love" was incredibly inconsistent with Course teachings. She does NOT paraphrase accurately. While I think it's wonderful that her books bring more joy into peoples' lives, please read the Course yourself. Don't rely on Marianne for an interpretation.

I highly recommend this book for any woman who is graduating college, getting married, having children, dealing with divorce, coping with aging parents or feeling completely overthe edge. It's is a feel good book that makes a woman feel completely understood and worthy. It reminds us who we truly are and how much value we contribute. When everyone or everything around you leads you to feel spent and worthless, this is the book to read. It's the book to treasure and refer to whenver life gets out of control. I've given it to my best friends and they love it.

Having had unfortunate bad luck and experience with intimacy and relationships in my lifetime, I turned to this book as an attempt for me to learn to "understand women". So I went ahead and bought the audio tapes. While this book was very poetic, I felt it was "missing" something: a common ground where men and women can come together and share their experiences. Unfortunately, in this book (and in practically all her later books), Marianne bought into the notion that "men are from mars and women are from venus". She is relentless with stereotyping the sexes, and what's worse, she puts men down openly in this book.
If you want to read something which does justice to both men and women, I recommend the following two books: "The Future of Love" by Daphne Rose Kingma, and "The Nature of the Psyche" by Jane Roberts and Seth.
If you are a male reader, please don't get this book. And if you are a female reader, I would think twice before taking Marianne's words as gospel. It would do you best to reconsider your attitudes and beliefs toward men, women, and relationships, and to look for a common ground which would benefit everyone.

I have read this book over and over and listen to the tapes constantly. It is the most enlightening book that I think a woman can read. It is written for all ages, religions, and backgrounds. I have given away over 30 copies to friends and family. I would suggest this to any woman who searches for the true meaning of femininity.

I have never read anything from Marianne Williamson, and this book actually draws the reader in and makes them feel exclusive. Her ability to capture your heart and soul is profound. I would recommend this book to anyone woman going through changes. It is uplifting and motiviational.

A good-hearted book - unfortunately it was so poorly argued, trite and repetitive, that it did a disservice both to its subject and feelings. Women need a balance between the mind and the heart, and this kind of gushing nonsense does not help us to change ourselves, or the world. If you want a good, intelligent and heart-felt feminine take on the world, read Clarissa Pinkola Estes's Women Who Run With the Wolves.

Marianne Williamson is my hero! Any time I feel blue, unappreciated, etc., I only need to open her book titled, "A Woman's Worth", to any page, and I am instantly revived! I am a goddess. Thank-you, Marianne!
Diane Korman

For all those Baby Boomers who wandered and were not lost, this is for you. Marianne Williamson is a prophet for our times. Never preachy, she will awaken your soul to the greater life that calls us.

I TRIED TO FIND ONE AREA OF THIS BOOK THAT MADE ANY SENSE. I DO NOT CRY ABOUT MY LIFE. SUCK IT UP AND LIVE.. DRIVEL AND GARBAGE THAT TOTALY LOOKS AT WOMAN FROM A SELF ABSORBED POINT OF VIEW. I AM GLAD TO BE WOMAN.
