Goddess Guide, Ellen Snortland, introduced our new Goddess Living Book Club! And, the first book! Ellen discussed 2 books in the Goddess Talk on Friday, but she decided that maybe one was enough to start!
In true Ellen fashion, a history lesson was included! She shared her personal history and how books became such an important part of her education and her life. She also shared why it is so important to read and support women authors.
" Books are heart ambassadors" ~ Ellen
Ellen says the books she will recommend are not to be swallowed hook line and sinker or for us to agree or disagree. They are stories where we can learn the historical aspect and significance of the women's journey through history AND to create a dialogue.
For the dates of the book discussions (1st Friday of every month) see the Monthly Goddess Talk Schedule. Go to the "Insights and Inspirations" page and search the name of the month in the search bar to find the latest.
Book Pick
Beauty Bites Beast
by Ellen Snortland
This book, in addition to being extremely good information on protecting oneself, incorporates the all the years of reading by Ellen. Her vast knowledge about women's history is condensed into a Cliff Notes version that will get us up to speed quickly... Plus, it is very entertaining!!
"I picked my own book, Beauty Bites Beast because in the words of a Korean publishing company, 'BBB encapsulated and concentrated many of the most important issues of the women’s movement in an entertaining and enlightening way.' " ~ Ellen
