Summoned

Traditional biographies are written in third person, present the facts of their subjects' lives, and provide a critical analysis. Summoned is different. While I researched traditional sources, each woman in this book speaks in her own voice to tell her story. For the last one hundred years, science and technology have been the twin gods of the modern world and the focus has been on validating evidence produced by the experimental method. The natural feminine energies of intuition, vision, empathy, and creation have been regarded as unnecessary, sentimental and extraneous to the progress of the human race. As we enter the new millennium, these are the very energies needed to heal our society. Women must break free of the limiting stereotypes that have fettered them and get into action. Spiritual growth is a process, so let us begin.
