Writing HERstory

It's a girl thing . . .
To know and share our histories and stories is to know and understand aspects of the female experience. The journeys and pathways we have walked, the triumphs and tragedies and how they all come together to paint a picture-those are our shared experiences. That is when you can connect the dots along our timelines and see the pattern.
In Writing HERstory, Ashley Lougheed uncovers the power of women's stories, and they are more alike than different. Regardless of dark or light times, the female experience is universal. We know the pain of trial and defeat and have faced internal and external challenges of all kinds. We've experienced catcalls, sister wounds, impostor syndrome, and limiting beliefs. But we also know how to problem solve, how to dig deep into ourselves to find our grit. We know the power and truth of women supporting women, and we recognize the value of leaning on our soul sisters for support.
Part memoir, part collaboration, Writing HERstory portrays the many rites of passage of being a woman. Here, Ashley connects the dots of our stories to discover that while the pattern may change in its details and in female to female, the concrete evidence is strong: the pattern starts with acknowledging and celebrating our own self-worth and the worth of all women. It's a new age of sisterhood.
