Book excerpt: Women feel powerful when they are being creative, following their hearts, embracing the muse, taking risks, doing what matters most, seeking solitude, leading a balanced life, facing their fears, evolving, and so much more. Each of the sixteen chapters in this collection THE SMART WOMEN'S BOOK OF POWERFUL QUOTES illustrate a particular path to exploring, finding, and owning your personal power. The hope is to help women realize the undeniable feminine power they possess. As you read the quotes in this book, you will be able to discover not only where your feminine power originates, but also how to encourage other women to find their power. Remember, anytime a person is enlightened-they become more powerful-and they become an asset to all of humanity. One way to use this book is for writing prompts to jumpstart your creativity. Powerful words from powerful women are meant to be shared-use a quote in a speech or presentation to inspire others. Or just read the quotes to give yourself the mental push you need to get through a dark time or to complete a goal. "As women, we find power not when we are dominating others, but when we are in authentic relationship with others, when we are true to ourselves and our passions. Female power is a creative and nurturing force. It is not a fist. It is an open hand that can write, that can sculpt, that can dance, that can heal, that knows how to both give and receive. Sheri McConnell has compiled hundreds of quotes that explore and illuminate the female experience of power, and in doing so, has given us a powerful gift. May you find inspiration, affirmation, and, yes, empowerment within these pages."
