Her struggle with her own voice set her on the journey that led her to discover her vocation. She has spent her life re-finding and re-empowering voices, particularly the lost voices of women. Watching her highly intelligent working-class mother and grandmother ignored and often silenced gave her the insight to investigate why that was and how to help women overcome this centuries-old issue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith warmth and humour, Rodenburg interrogates Shakespeare's texts and his presentation of female characters; develops the notion of rhetoric in relation to the female voice; and applies concepts explored in her previous books, including The Three Circles of Energy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd, perhaps most crucially, through arguing that power and voice are directly linked to breath, Rodenburg makes the case that Western society's oppression of women has diminished their natural ability to breathe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the female voice through practical exercises and stories from the front line, as well as profoundly personal and formative experiences from her own life, Rodenburg defines the art of accessing the voice within and reclaiming the woman's right to speak.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Woman's Voice is also available in audiobook format for those who prefer to listen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, The Woman's Voice is a powerful and essential book for anyone who wants to understand the importance of the female voice and reclaim the woman's right to speak. Rodenburg's insights and practical exercises are invaluable for women who want to improve their communication skills, overcome self-doubt, and assert themselves in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 308g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 138 x 216 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350276543\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PatsyRodenburg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44094261592314,"sku":"9781350276543","price":17.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1676034068624_book.jpg?v=1676463320","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-womans-voice-9781350276543","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
