Synopsis

In this life-changing book that blends myth, memoir, and modern-day mentors, renowned psychologist Dr. Sharon Blackie journeys from the wasteland of modern society to a place of nourishment and connection.

"Mind-blowing. An anthem for all we could be . . . I sincerely hope every woman who can read has the time and space to read it." —Manda Scott, author of Boudica and A Treachery of Spies

Like Women who Run with the Wolves, this is powerful rallying cry to women to embrace a different kind of femininity. Described as both transformative and essential, Sharon Blackie leads the listener on a quest to find their place in the world, drawing inspiration from the wise and powerful females in native mythology, and guidance from contemporary women who have re-rooted themselves in land and community and taken responsibility for shaping the future.

Beautifully written, honest, and moving, If Women Rose Rooted is a passionate song to a different kind of femininity, a rallying, feminist cry for the rewilding of womanhood; reclaiming our role as guardians of the land.

I loved this book to no end. The author digs deep into the realm of the Elder goddess and the people we were before today.

Life changing. This book can be life changing. The author, Sharon Blackie, could have been following my life and the journey I have been on over the past 2 decades (and more).

I have never met Sharon Blackie but we are twitter friends, sharing a love of storytelling, fairy tales, mythology and psychology. Our common interests caused us to occasionally touch minds across the geography that divides us, and so I became aware of her book If Women Rose Rooted as she tweeted ab......more

I love the premise of this book, but the execution leaves much to be desired. I appreciate ecofeminism in general, but the Celtic folklore did not speak to me. (It definitely will to some.) I found the stories to be rambling at times and felt the book could use a heavy edit. The author's biographica......more
