Burning Woman by Lucy Pearce

Burning Woman is a breath-taking and controversial woman’s journey through history — personal and cultural — on a quest to find and free her own power.

2017 Nautilus Award Winner in the program’s ‘Women’ category of books for and about Women’s journey.

Burning Woman explores:

• Burning from within: a woman’s power—how to build it, engage it and not be destroyed by it.
• Burning from without: the role of shame, and honour in the time-worn ways the dominant culture uses fire to control the Feminine.
• The darkness: overcoming our fear of the dark, and discovering its importance in cultivating power.

This incendiary text was written for women who burn with passion, have been burned with shame, and who at another time, in another place, would have been burned at the stake.
