* When I use the terms men and women, whatever gender you identify with and whatever nature you may gravitate toward. The author acknowledges the differences of men and women* but how both are necessary, like yin and yang, for a healthy society, in cooperation with each other. Eve sought knowledge after communing with nature and look what happened? The book lays out that female nature should work complementary to the masculine nature, and what we have now is an unhealthy domination of the masculine (i.e., toxic masculinity). The essence of this eco-feminist novel is that women have a deep connection with nature, and particularly with a sense of place (both location and culture), and when we cut ourselves off from that sense of belonging we find ourselves lost in the “Wasteland.” We women are of nature and the patriarchy via Christianity has oppressed the female nature. (I haven’t completed a whole book in … years-I have twin toddlers). The fact I completed it indicates it is definitely worth a read. This book, “If Women Rose Rooted,” was recommended to me very enthusiastically by a friend of mine. If Women Rose Rooted: The Power of the Celtic Woman by Sharon Blackie
