Author Reading: The Feminine Revolution by Amy Stanton

Join Amy Stanton, Founder and CEO of Stanton & Company and co-author of the The Feminine Revolution for a discussion about femininity and authenticity and why embracing our emotionality, vulnerability and other traditionally considered feminine qualities will allow us to be our most powerful and happiest selves.

Challenging old and outdated perceptions that feminine traits are weaknesses, The Feminine Revolution revisits those characteristics to show how they are powerful assets that should be embraced rather than maligned. It argues that feminine traits have been mischaracterized as weak, fragile, diminutive, and embittered for too long, and offers a call to arms to redeem them as the superpowers and gifts that they are. The authors, Amy Stanton and Catherine Connors, begin with a brief history of when-and-why these traits were defined as weaknesses, sharing opinions from iconic females including Marianne Williamson. Then they offer a set of feminine principles that challenge current perceptions of feminine traits, while providing women new mindsets to reclaim those traits with confidence.
