If Women Ruled the World

With women making up only 14 percent of Congress and with only eight women CEOs in the entire group of Fortune 500 companies, women''s collective voices are clearly underrepresented. Nor are they proportionately present on the airwaves or in the op-ed pages of the country''s newspapers. This book helps right that imbalance by giving women a platform for voicing their opinions, priorities, hopes, and ideas for change. The book includes short experiences, stories, thoughts, and meditations written and shared by women around the world. Authors, celebrities, experts, and politicians are included, along with soccer moms and teenage girls, creating a work that is humorous, moving, questioning, opinionated, warm, and informative as it examines what women would choose if they had a chance to participate in ruling the world. Note: A portion of this book''s royalties will be donated to the Feminist Majority.
