Customer Reviews

incredibly heart felt, unbelievably brave

"Daughters of the Moon, Sisters of the Sun" is the most enlightening book I have ever read into the hearts and souls of young girls and young women. It confirms every fear and every joy I ever had as a young girl. I only wish this book and the Focus Group inwhich it was born from were around when I was growing up. Even today--in my 30's--it spoke to me and made me feel I can make a difference in the upbringing of my young niece. I highly reccommend this book to everyone who ever wanted to make a difference in the lives of young women--and, also,young men.

A must have book for daughters; sons; mothers; and fathers

This book is a "lessons learned" compilation from young women and "well-known" women. It is a confirmation of experiences that all of us may or may not have had that shows that we are not alone out there. I wish that this book would have been out there for me when I was a teenager, so much that I ended up purchasing 5 extra copies, (one) to set aside for my 7 year old daughter. This is a book that "our" sons and fathers should read, to not only understand us better, but to better understand themselves. This book provides an empowerment for all to be open to reaching up and running with life. It is a salve in healing wounds and assisting us in our evolution as human and spiritual beings.

An excellent, compellingly interesting book. I loved it!

This book captured my interest as a developmental psychologist concerned with psychological growth during adolescence. The stories of the young women and the advice and counsel of the famous women mentors (from Maya Angelou to the Indigo Girls and Carol Gilligan, to name a few) made the book fascinating to read and thought provoking. The conceptual framework of the book, as well as it's layout and style, made it all the more fun for me. I recommend it very highly.

A very important book; can make an enormous difference

This is a very important project that can make an enormous difference not only in the lives of the girls who directly participate in its focus groups, but in the lives of thousands of other girls through the book. Riane Eisler

one of the most exciting books I am aware of.

Daughters of the Moon, Sisters of the Sun is one of the most exciting and promising projects I am aware of...It offers girls the kind of experience which is truly transformative at a time when many girls are in danger of muting their voices, diminishing themselves, and thus losing their full connection to the world. Carol Gilligan, Harvard
