This memoir, A Woman’s Voice Should be Heard: My Journey from the Convent to the Battle for Women’s Equality is the story of my journey through the misogynistic world. Women’s voices were ignored in every aspect of life. Although progress has been made in many aspects of western life, women’s voices continue to be discounted in regard to their health, control over their own bodies, their roles as mothers, and as career women who have valuable jobs no matter what those positions may be. The rules of power and authority have been set to make women invisible. I gradually learned to become visible by using my voice, especially when others would prefer not to hear me.
History is our teacher of how we might progress. The battles continue today. Women who work inside or outside the home seek inspiration, hope, and encouragement. I hope this book will enrich their spirits to continue the fight for equality. The book shouts out to women how important their women friends are, how women mentors can be the springboard to success, and most of all, using their voices to be heard in facing their futures.
