Singing at the top of our lungs - Claudia Bepko

From the authors of "Too Good for Her Own Good", this is an exploration of the conflicting roles of love and creativity in women's lives that provides suggestions and positive role models for women searching for ways to integrate their many passions.;Women have been defined traditionally by their capacity for intimacy and love, and less so by their creative contributions to the world outside the home. In fact, it is often assumed that any creative impulse must, and should be sacrificed for the good of family, relationship, or child.;In this book the authors reveal the extent to which this idea, which creates conflict in the lives of many women, has become an old, irrelevant notion. Based on surveys and interviews with more than 300 women, the authors identify and describe the four dominant life shapes - the lover, the leader, the innovator and the artist - that women can create to resolve this dichotomy and to live lives that are passionate exuberant, loving and creative. This book shows women how to open up new worlds of possibility for themselves, with new appreciation of their own powerful creative potential - whether in relationship, career or artistic pursuit.
