Book Reviews of A Woman's Worth
Book Review: Good book, but not Marianne's best work
Summary: 3 Stars
Marianne notes in her preface to "A Woman's Worth" that "In writing this book, I have no purpose other than a creative spill of my own guts." And that's a good way to characterize the book. It is written almost as notes to herself that are being shared with others. Unlike my favorite book by her, "Everyday Grace" which was about hope, forgiveness and miracles, there is no real overriding message to this book.
Marianne Williamson is a good writer, so the book is still an enjoyable read and she does make some good points, such as:
- We are responsible for how we see ourselves
- The truth is there when the mind is ready to receive it
- Children remind us of what's important
- The biggest limit to our having is our small reach
But by and large, the book seems to be mainly venting about the way she believes men treat women in our culture (i.e. as the weaker sex and as sexual objects.) She is particulary upset by the way older women are treated, noting, "Your youth is the measure of your worth, and your age is the measure of your worthlessness."
If you're interested in Marianne's work, I would recommend some of her other books, like "Everyday Grace" or "A Return to Love" or even her most recent book, "The Age of Miracles."
