Cassandra Speaks
When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes
Book • 2020
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.
