An anthem for all we could be ... I sincerely hope every woman who can read has the time and space to read it.' Manda Scott, author of Boudica and A Treachery of Spies<BR>'If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees. <BR>'And if we rise up rooted, like trees . . . well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.'<BR>Like Women who Run with the Wolves, this is powerful rallying cry to women to embrace a different kind of femininity.
