Summary: A woman's worth; MY worth
Review: 4 years ago I came across a copy of this book, and spent a joyful afternoon reading her words and contemplating my own worth. This book nourished my soul. I felt like she was speaking directly to me, and thank God, I listened! My life was forever changed. This book had such an impact on me that words cannot convey. I ended my self-destruction that day, and discovered a sense of worth that I had never known. This book is the perfect gift for a daughter graduating from high school, or for any woman who has yet to discover her own vital place in this world.

Summary: Great heart, no mind
Review: A good-hearted book - unfortunately it was so poorly argued, trite and repetitive, that it did a disservice both to its subject and feelings. Women need a balance between the mind and the heart, and this kind of gushing nonsense does not help us to change ourselves, or the world. If you want a good, intelligent and heart-felt feminine take on the world, read Clarissa Pinkola Estes's Women Who Run With the Wolves.

Summary: a higher awareness of the feminine essence
Review: A spiritual look into our self-realization as women. A book for both women and men to acknowledge their feminine powers of compassion, healing, nurturing and intuition. A wonderful call to women to actualize their roles in relationships, family, society and on earth. Marianne's insight is profound and encompassing. I will definitely share this book with other women who I encounter. I have been so moved and filled by her ideas about women's worth that I intend to share those ideas with as many other Filipina women I speak to at conferences and workshops.This book may at first be hard to digest but as you expand your awareness to a Universal level then the meanings all begin to make sense. Detractors may view this book as anti-men, but this is not the case when you read the book and understand it. On the contrary, she does speak of a balance between both masculine and feminine and a balance between the contributions of men and women within societies that flourished. Read pages 15 to 16 fully and digest the words before you make your own assessment of her meaning. Her book is not anti-men but rather anti-male domination which also means anti-imbalance. Find out what all of us raving reviewers are talking about. for yourself. Get this book!

Summary: This book refreshed me when I was down
Review: A Woman's Worth is a great book for any woman to read who has lost herself; or perhaps even better for someone who has not figured out who she is yet. I read it when I was having a hard time feeling grounded and it really helped my self-confidence. I was able to begin to love myself again (or for the first time). And have since recommended it to a friend who is going through a difficult divorce - she loved it! Though I did not agree with everything that Marianne Williamson had to say , the tone of the book is such that you can easily take what you need and leave the rest.

Summary: One of the best books for women (and men) ever
Review: Ahhh, Marianne. You have given us the ability to re-discover the Goddess within. All your books are priceless gems for the soul. I re-read your books so often, they are falling apart. A Woman's Worth is lovely and genuine and I nodded my head in agreement through each and every page. Thank you for letting your Goddess emerge in such a helpful way. Sharon Elaine, author of "The Book of Affirmations"

Summary: As a man, I tried to understand...
Review: Having had unfortunate bad luck and experience with intimacy and relationships in my lifetime, I turned to this book as an attempt for me to learn to "understand women". So I went ahead and bought the audio tapes. While this book was very poetic, I felt it was "missing" something: a common ground where men and women can come together and share their experiences. Unfortunately, in this book (and in practically all her later books), Marianne bought into the notion that "men are from mars and women are from venus". She is relentless with stereotyping the sexes, and what's worse, she puts men down openly in this book. If you want to read something which does justice to both men and women, I recommend the following two books: "The Future of Love" by Daphne Rose Kingma, and "The Nature of the Psyche" by Jane Roberts and Seth. If you are a male reader, please don't get this book. And if you are a female reader, I would think twice before taking Marianne's words as gospel. It would do you best to reconsider your attitudes and beliefs toward men, women, and relationships, and to look for a common ground which would benefit everyone.

Summary: FANTASTIC BOOK: HONORS FEMININE BEAUTY!
Review: Here's a book that guides women back to their true essence. The Goddess within every woman is embraced, honored and adored in A Woman's Worth. If we ever doubted the feminine beauty, Marianne Williamson passionately weaves a modern mystical tale reminding us of Her necessity. In countless ways she gives testimony to the love and goodness all women can provide the world. It is the feminine in all of us that brings the finer subtleties to life fulfilling what Nature craves. It is the responsibility of men and women alike to balance our masculine communities, our masculine governments, our masculine ways. It is through our own gracefulness that we attune ourselves to the highest good. Throughout her passionate commentary of her own life and the lives' of women, Marianne teaches how to embrace all that is feminine. From chapters Glorious Queens and Slavegirls to The Castle Walls, her personal, intuitive insights move all of us to cultivate that which is pure in our being. In order to develop the Goddess within, appreciation is given to the necessity of pain in our lives while the importance of forgiveness, patience, and understanding is encouraged. At any stage in our personal development journey all can benefit from Marianne's conversational and uplifting prose. Finally, this is the book that will take you to higher plains in your development.

Summary: Phenomenal
Review: I am an avid reader-and never before have I come across such an amazing book. It saved and changed my life. My book- now 7 years old- was given to me by my Mother when she knew her words were not enough to help her struggiling 19 year old daughter who was trying to find her way in the world. Now it sits on my bedside table, and like the Velveteen Rabbit it is very loved w/ all of it's dog ears and notes in the margins. It has become my life manual, my pick-me-up and my touchstone. It is of benefit to any woman who needs to remember how divine she is and gives us all permission not to be ashamed of being the Princesses that we are and striving to one day become Queens.
