Summary: Good book, but not Marianne's best work
Comment: Marianne notes in her preface to "A Woman's Worth" that "In writing this book, I have no purpose other than a creative spill of my own guts." And that's a good way to characterize the book. It is written almost as notes to herself that are being shared with others. Unlike my favorite book by her, "Everyday Grace" which was about hope, forgiveness and miracles, there is no real overriding message to this book.
Marianne Williamson is a good writer, so the book is still an enjoyable read and she does make some good points, such as:
- We are responsible for how we see ourselves
- The truth is there when the mind is ready to receive it
- Children remind us of what's important
- The biggest limit to our having is our small reach
But by and large, the book seems to be mainly venting about the way she believes men treat women in our culture (i.e. as the weaker sex and as sexual objects.) She is particulary upset by the way older women are treated, noting, "Your youth is the measure of your worth, and your age is the measure of your worthlessness."
If you're interested in Marianne's work, I would recommend some of her other books, like "Everyday Grace" or "A Return to Love" or even her most recent book, "The Age of Miracles."

Summary: Women's self-esteem in the eyes of an open-hearted beholder
Comment: Williamson goes far deeper and wider than psychological self help normally can. In dealing with our self-image problems, she walks through mental walls between personal, social, spiritual and worldly concerns. She shows how the big picture of our significance looks from her open-hearted view. For Williamson, love and marriage are not just necessary "conventions of the world"; they are schools of the soul: "... that is why we learn to love: to care so completely for one other person that our hearts break open wide and we learn to love them all". (p. 99)
The expansion of context brings a flood of light, more uplifting than any exhortation to positive thinking.
--author of "Different Visions of Love"

Summary: Motivational
Comment: I have never read anything from Marianne Williamson, and this book actually draws the reader in and makes them feel exclusive. Her ability to capture your heart and soul is profound. I would recommend this book to anyone woman going through changes. It is uplifting and motiviational.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Being worthy
Comment: For all those Baby Boomers who wandered and were not lost, this is for you. Marianne Williamson is a prophet for our times. Never preachy, she will awaken your soul to the greater life that calls us.
