Beschreibung
This book is no standard guide on ordinary women’s topics. It relentlessly reflects on what slows down women's personal development regarding relationship, family and work - with razor-sharp analyses of hidden interactions and traumas. This book enables women to become aware of existing traps and obstacles, fears, feelings of guilt and other deep-seated emotions, leaving behind restricting role attributions while power-balancing their lives between partner, children and career.
Women often consider themselves as the patriarchy’s victims. Instead, the author identifies the fact that they lack awareness of their own power and the willingness to recognize it, the fact that women often neither admit nor accept their own power, as the prime reason why women remain stuck in traditional role models – for equality would require their powerful sovereignty. This book offers solutions to seemingly difficult situations, and experienced women leaders have their say. The recommendations on how to set a decisive course on the path to female empowerment leave readers with no room to retreat and hide behind familiar and often practiced counterarguments: This book encourages self-reflection as well as public discussion.

"Even today, women in positions of power still do not seem to be a matter of course. However, it is up to women to scrutinise concepts such as power and powerlessness for themselves and individually and to examine their own life path as well as decisions already made or still to be made with self-honesty. Ms Lackner takes us through the individual stages of life, from early childhood imprinting by parents and environment to later partnership, and makes us aware that the combination of partnership, motherhood and career can still be an act of juggling today. She offers a selection of possibilities that can help women not to lose themselves in these daily tasks and responsibilities.The book makes it clear that women must start with themselves in order to initiate major changes in the world by living their lives authentically and honestly."
