Cassandra Speaks

In 'Cassandra Speaks,' Elizabeth Lesser delves into the myths and stories that have shaped our culture, particularly those that have marginalized women.

The book is divided into three parts: the first part examines the historical and cultural stories that have influenced our perceptions of women; the second part redefines what it means to be courageous, daring, and strong from a feminine perspective; and the third part offers tools and exercises for inner strength and personal growth.

Lesser argues that by changing these stories, we can change our lives and create a more compassionate and equitable world.

She draws on her own life experiences, research on gender, and cultural myths to provide a compelling narrative that encourages readers to reclaim their own stories and challenge patriarchal values.
