Walking on Glass Shells

Feminine Silence

A call to reimagine a world where women’s empowerment has been achieved, and we continue to not only meaninfully but also progressively coexist as men and women. The book draws on decades of global data, lived realities, and cross-cultural lessons to confront the quiet systems that limit both men and women — and to amplify the conversations we should perhaps start having in our new normal.
