Summary: Women's Lives, Women's Legacies by Rachael Freed
Review: What a magnificent volume! Not only is it filled to brimming with meaty quotes and wonderful examples of women searching their souls for wisdom to share, but it exhorts us all to reach into every corner of our lives to leave similarly meaningful morsels to our descendants.The author has covered all bases. She shares her own thinking with her audience, bringing her personal warmth and insights into our work. With great compassion, she gives us permission to look at, accept or reject each piece of the puzzle, preparing us for the range of feelings which may arise within us as we put into words the miracles that are our lives. I am a medical social worker specializing in bereavement work, a daughter, a sister of sisters, a mother of daughters, a Jewish woman who serves in a leadership capacity. This book will resonate too, with men and women of many circumstances. I look forward to savoring this book again, word for word, in quiet moments down the road, as I use it to prepare my own spiritual-ethical will. In the meantime, I plan to make a gift of Women's Lives, Women's Legacies to all the women I love.

Summary: Women's Lives, Women's Legacies - Bravo
Review: Women's Lives, Women's Legacies is a powerful tool to jump-start your own story and to share it with others. I found it thought provocing - answering questions about oneself, one's history, and future a wonderful communication tool. I enjoyed thinking about my naming process, secrets, values, and spirituality. The format of the book could be used in ways most suited to how I saw my own legacy. Being newly married I answered the questions for myself and then asked my husband about himself and his family-I learned new things about both. Whether you are married or single, have children or none, you will find your place is this beautifully written soul-searching book.
