About this audiobook
With A Woman's Worth, Marianne Williamson turns her charismatic voice--and the same empowering, spiritually enlightening wisdom that energized her landmark work, A Return to Love-- to exploring the crucial role of women in the world today. Drawing deeply and candidly on her own experiences, the author illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a patriarchal society. Cutting across class, race, religion, and gender, A Woman's Worth speaks powerfully and persuasively to a generation in need of healing, and in search of harmony.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is an empowering manifesto with an accessible approach to spirituality and the universality of femininity. My husband is reading it now and feeling better equipped to love and appreciate me and his daughters through the insights Williamson provides. Some of the language errs on the side of ethereal, but I think an appreciation of the metaphysical nature of femininity is essential to her message.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read with loving emotions. Changed my heart. Helped me understand my feelings better. Gave me permission to grow up and have fun doing it . I’m 60 years old and now I have a better understanding of the woman inside bursting to be me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Every woman read !!! Immediately!!! I love you so much Marianne !!! Namaste sweet sister!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book supported and empowered my journey as a woman.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved it. This will give you so many great insights!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I felt that this was definitely an empowering book, even if it was very Judeo-Christian God-focused. I understand that that was part of its' anecdotal nature. I enjoyed Marianne's narration and vigour in delivery and the power of her message. The concept and message were prevalent and understandable throughout and really made me feel my worth as a woman.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5amazing book....reminds you of the beauty of being a woman!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not bad, not brilliant, but I will never forget Williamson's statement that the reason so many people cry, "Oh God!" during orgasm is that orgasm is an experience of God. There's a lot of truth in that, I think. Maslow demonstrates that most people have what he calls "peak religious experiences" and these are not usually what the institutional churches would like us to believe. They tend to be love, sunsets, rainbows, silence, childbirth, pain, joy, death, beauty and yes, even orgasm, rather than sitting in a church of a Sunday morning.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I like self-help books, sometimes. I'm not sure this is a self-help book, since there is very little concrete advice in it. I found this book on the "free" shelf at the library bookstore. I certainly wouldn't pay for this book, and I suggest no one else put down money for it either. If you must read it, check it out of the library. The basic idea of the book is that all women are really Queens, manifestations of the 'Goddess' and it's alright to be 'feminine'. The author spends a lot of time going over how women are not living up to their potential queenness, because of society, their own low self-esteem, etc., etc. and how wonderful the world would be once women open up to their own wonderfulness. The book is vague and repetitive. It reminded me of those cards you send to people (mostly women) to cheer them up that say: "You are amazing. The World is a Better Place Because of You." That's, um, nice.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was a brief book that covered moat of women's issues in a broad scale and it gives you a suggestion on what you should base your foundation on as a woman. A good book but not mind blowing
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everything this wise woman writes is gold - and this book is no exception. Any woman would benfit by reading this - there is something for everyone.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Insightful thoughts into what it means to be a woman. I had lumped this book in with some junk I was leaving behind in a crummy apartment I was moving out of in 1996, and for some reason on my way out picked it up to look at again--and couldn't believe I had thought I didn't need it! I now return to it from time to time for inspirational passages.
