Description



Book Synopsis



Explore feminine spirituality from the beginning of recorded history to the present day through the works of 23 extraordinary women.

These extraordinary women have expressed their experiences of the agony and ecstasy of pursuing spiritual enlightenment through their poetry and prose, which is beautiful, inspirational and very moving.

In this completely revised and updated edition of Women of Wisdom, Paula Marvelly has selected powerful and evocative words from an array of female voices of widely differing ages, faiths and ethnicities--Jewish, Christian, Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Platonic--revealing the common and overriding theme between them, which can be expressed as "non-duality", the experience of losing one's individuality and becoming one with the universe. 
The audiobook is narrated by award-winning British actor, Polly Lee.

Whether you are interested in reviving lost and misunderstood women of history, or you are looking to find new ways to understand the many ancient questions that generations before us have been asking, you will discover a wealth of wisdom and inspiration from these women of wisdom:

  • Read the musings of the ancient priestess Enheduanna on her beloved goddess of the moon
  • Decode ancient Egyptian inscriptions to reveal Hatshepsut, a powerful female pharaoh whose rule was almost deleted from history
  • Revel in the immortal beauty of Sappho's poetry on the divine bounty of Mother Nature, Emily Dickinson's words on love, or Virginia Woolf's prose on female expression.
  • Uncover the cosmic life force with polymath Hildegard of Bingen
  • Dwell on the revelations of divine love with anchoress Julian of Norwich, and so much more...
