Becoming Heroines: Unleashing Our Power for Revolution and Rebirth

A profound roadmap for how whole systems of oppression can die if we choose to do the work.--LaTosha Brown, cofounder of Black Voters Matter

"An inspiring, empowering clarion call and guide to become the heroines we were meant to be."--Debra Messing, actor and activist

A soul-shaking wake-up call to the oppressive structures that keep women in their place--and a radical approach to fighting back

You were born with massive reservoirs of strength, confidence, and creativity. But oppressive structures that keep you "in your place"--that is, silent, weak, and complacent--have cut you off you from your natural gifts and pitted women against one another. Following the timeless wisdom of the heroine's journey, Becoming Heroines invites you to recover your inner power and unleash it as a force for change in the world.

For decades, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin has been the go-to mentor for women who've wasted years playing by traditional rules. Now, she'll show you how to break away from that which no longer serves you, starting by healing the painful memories that hold you back from living to your fullest capacity. You'll learn how to confront any internalized bias contributing to systems of oppression. And joining with the growing revolution, you'll be inspired to lend your voice to those repairing the wounds of history in order to build a future of freedom and justice for all.

At once deeply heartfelt and galvanizing, Becoming Heroines is an empowering call to recover your rightful role as the heroine of your own life. For any woman ready to rise from the ashes of trauma and grief, live out her values more radically, and lead us all to a better world, the journey begins.
