"An important enterprise for us all to begin. Renaming the world is something Adam and God did in the Bible, and today most women and children bear the names of their husbands and fathers. When we begin renaming things, we recreate how we see our world and ourselves. This work is a sign of women's growing social power and awareness, and a cause for optimism."-Naomi Goldenberg, University of Ottawa; author, Changing of the Gods

"Speaking in many voices, thoughtful, brave and intensely personal, this passionate book is universal in its reach. It teaches me, again, that the way to the sacred is through a searing honesty that spares nothing. includes all." Joanna Macy, author, Despair and Personal Power in the Nuclear Age
