WOMEN'S STUDIES / ECOLOGY "Nina Simons' Moonrise brings together thirty wise essays on transforming the old 'masculine' and 'feminine' division into a human style of leadership. These are writers and activists who know how to link rather than rank, and so can help each of us to learn as well as to lead." --Gloria Steinem, pioneering feminist, author, and founder of Ms. Magazine "May this book filled with the words of women still connected to their heart, in fact, still driven by the passion of its thought, be a guide to others for believing we can think and feel intensely at the same time,…mehr

WOMEN'S STUDIES / ECOLOGY "Nina Simons' Moonrise brings together thirty wise essays on transforming the old 'masculine' and 'feminine' division into a human style of leadership. These are writers and activists who know how to link rather than rank, and so can help each of us to learn as well as to lead." --Gloria Steinem, pioneering feminist, author, and founder of Ms. Magazine "May this book filled with the words of women still connected to their heart, in fact, still driven by the passion of its thought, be a guide to others for believing we can think and feel intensely at the same time, finding our way to balance with all that exists." --Alice Walker, author and poet, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award Many today find themselves being called toward greater leadership on behalf of the earth, toward leadership sourced from their inner authority and inspired by what they love and are dedicated to protect, transform, and strengthen. Those successfully heeding this call have embraced the qualities previously relegated to the "feminine"--inner awareness, collaboration, relational intelligence, respect for the sacred, and generosity--and married them to the best of their "masculine" attributes to create a new form of leadership more inspiring, inviting, and effective for transforming how we live on the earth and with each other. This anthology presents more than 30 essays from eminent women trailblazers such as author Alice Walker, psychiatrist Jean Shinoda Bolen, playwright Eve Ensler, holistic doctor Rachel Naomi Remen, biologist Janine Benyus, hip-hop performer Rha Goddess, and famous tree-sitter Julia Butterfly Hill, as well as lesser-known but equally influential leaders such as social entrepreneur Judy Wicks, philanthropic activist Kathy LeMay, food justice advocate LaDonna Redmond, and media educator Sofia Quintero. Their narratives explore how they cultivated their leadership impulses and their "feminine" strengths, reinventing leadership to prioritize community, collaboration, the environment, and the common good. Illuminating a path to progressive environmental and social change, their passionate stories of joyful, creative, collaborative, and sacred leadership ignite within each reader the power to help cocreate a healthy, peaceful, just, and sustainable world. NINA SIMONS is co-CEO and cofounder of Bioneers, a national nonprofit that identifies, gathers, and disseminates breakthrough solutions to environmental and social challenges. A speaker and teacher on the environment, restoring the sacred feminine, and the call to engaged action, she gives workshops on cultivating women's leadership and coproduces the annual Bioneers Conference. She lives outside Santa Fe, New Mexico.
