Writing with her characteristic boldness, grace, and gut-level honesty, the author sets aside political correctness and challenges women to unearth the hidden gift of their femininity.

Feminine traits that were once disparaged as weaknesses -- such as sensitivity, intuition, and feeling emotional -- are reclaimed as powerful strengths that can be embraced as the keys to a happier life for everyone Challenging old and outdated perceptions that feminine traits are weaknesses, The Feminine Revolution revisits those characteristics to show how they are powerful assets that should be embraced rather than maligned. It argues that feminine traits have been mischaracterized as weak, fragile, diminutive, and embittered for too long, and offers a call to arms to redeem them as the superpowers and gifts that they are. The authors, Amy Stanton and Catherine Connors, begin with a brief history of when-and-why these traits were defined as weaknesses, sharing opinions from iconic females including Marianne Williamson and Cindy Crawford. Then they offer a set of feminine principles that challenge current perceptions of feminine traits, while providing women new mindsets to reclaim those traits with confidence. The principles include counterintuitive messages, including: Take things hard. Women feel things deeply, especially the hard stuff -- and that's a good thing. Enjoy glamour. Peacocks' bright coloring and garish feathers are part of their survival strategy -- similar tactics are part of our happiness strategy. Chit-chat. Women have been derogated for "gossip" for centuries. But what others call gossip, we call social connection. Emote. Never let anyone tell you to not be emotional. Express your enthusiasm, love, affection and warmth. Embrace your domestic side. Don't be ashamed to cultivate the beauty of your home and wrap your arms around friends and family. With an upbeat blend of self-help and fresh analysis, The Feminine Revolution reboots femininity for the modern woman and provides her with the tools to accept and embrace her own authentic nature.

If it is possible for a book to be healing, spiritual, smart, and sexy at the same time, then this is it. From Bestselling author and creator of the Man Whisperer Multimedia Series comes the new book Soft is the New Power by Deya "Direct" Smith. What if everything you thought you understood about communicating with men was wrong? Would you be willing to re-calibrate your thinking to possess the love and life you desire? Do you realize that you have an innate power to attract amazing relationships through your ability to communicate using a soft and strategic strategy? Smith shows readers how to return to the organic softness that is feminine power. Many women are losing themselves in an effort to keep up with the male-dominated workplace and the new-age approaches to dating and relationships. Too many successful and ambitious career driven women for various reasons tend to use masculine or hard energy to survive or succeed, and as a result, not only are they exhausted, but they become hardened in communications. Smith encourages readers to take a stronger, yet softer position to gain what you want. Women have an innate power to attract amazing relationships through initiative, understanding and acceptance, coupled with the ability to approach life with a soft touch. Knowing how and when to turn on your power, does not negate the need to play hard ball when necessary, but it definitely gives you an advantage in work, play and at home. God made us the softer sex for a reason. Use it to your advantage! This book will help you to: Identify and embrace your feminine power and emotional intelligence; Appreciate that being soft does not make you weak it makes you wise; Maximize your soft power to attract and develop personal and professional relationships; Give yourself permission to succeed and win like a woman and not like a man; Become a 'Man Whisperer' and learn the art of speaking to a man's heart.
