Summary

Nautilus award winning Burning Woman is a breath-taking and controversial woman’s journey through history - personal and cultural - on a quest to find and free her own power.

Uncompromising and all-encompassing, Pearce uncovers the archetype of the burning women of days gone by - Joan of Arc and the witch trials, through to the way women are burned today in cyber bullying, acid attacks, shaming and burnout, fearlessly examining the roots of feminine power - what it is, how it has been controlled, and why it needs to be unleashed on the world during our modern burning times.

Burning Woman explores:

  • Burning from within: A woman’s power - how to build it, engage it, and not be destroyed by it.
  • Burning from without: The role of shame, and honour in the time-worn ways the dominant culture uses fire to control the feminine.
  • The darkness: Overcoming our fear of the dark, and discovering its importance in cultivating power. 

This incendiary text was written for women who burn with passion, have been burned with shame, and who at another time, in another place, would have been burned at the stake. With contributions from leading burning women of our era: Isabel Abbott, ALisa Starkweather, Shiloh Sophia McCloud, Molly Remer, Julie Daley, Bethany Webster...

Simply Outstanding

Congratulations sister Lucy, this is a must read for women of all ages. It is a book, which can be such a catalyst for deep transformation,
especially for women who grew up in the post war era. There are women in their 60's, 70's, 80's who burn inside and don't know why. These women, silenced and undermined by patriarchal ideas have shrunk back, witheld truth...and yet, deep within they are so alive. Ahhhhh Lucy Pearce you have done a great job. I wish we could have a conversation about the liberation of the post war generation, and that, I believe is important for men too. Men need to be liberated from patriarchal ideas too. Many blessings Charlotte Common

Transformational

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I became so engrossed in it I didn't want it to end. In fact, when I got to chapter 8 I started it all over again to make it last longer 🙈

If you want to be seen, validated and empowered then read this book.

inspiring, brave, needed

thank goodness this book has been written there is so much to do! women need to rise up , unite , build bridges so we can work collaboratively. lets take a stand to sort out the mess that is being made of our beloved earth. lets not waste time, money and energy altering our bodies to give us value in this crazy society and focus instead on protecting or planet, daughters and sons from devastating future! rise, rise rise !!!!
