Cassandra Speaks

by Elizabeth Lesser

In 'Cassandra Speaks,' Elizabeth Lesser unlocks the cascading impact of stories told predominantly by men throughout history, resulting in societal norms that favor power and domination over traits like caretaking and empathy. The book incites a thought-provoking examination of cultural narratives and spotlights the necessity of women's voices in storytelling. Lesser interweaves personal reflections with critical analysis, offering a vision for balanced human stories that emphasize collaboration, understanding, and resilience. Divided into three parts, the book delves into the implications of historic narratives, redefines strength through a feminine lens, and presents tools for individual transformation, encouraging readers to foster a world where diverse voices contribute to collective wisdom.
