Third Act : Women Rise And Roar

We are in a time of turmoil where change has become imperative. Extraordinary people are standing up and confronting sexual assault, inequality, and abuse of power (No other culture disrespects their women the way our culture does - Terry McMillan). The silent majority is silent no more. More women and men join the effort everyday that aims to dismantle the evils destroying the soul of democracy and freedom in America. Third Act: Women Rise and Roar was written to be a powerful tool for the army of men and women who need to know the history, the underlying causes, and the facts about abuse and discrimination of females in the U.S. This definitive and exhaustive study of the tumultuous upheaval affecting our nation casts a wide net that includes: - an overview of the spontaneous uprisings including the largest protest march in Washington, D.C. history that decried the election of Donald Trump as President; the spotlight on female sexual assault first revealed by the MeToo movement; and the multitude of women who found their voices and finally said "Times Up" for the men who preyed on them. - statistical information about issues impacting girls and women: almost eighteen million American women are victims of attempted or completed rape; that women are largely unprotected against harassment and job discrimination; the gender pay gap; and other statistical information that will energize the fight against inequality and disrespect. - information about victims and predators of sexual assault that gives protective education to potential victims; information about normal reactions to and recovery from such traumas; profiles of typical victims targeted by predators; and characteristics of different types of sexual predators. - explorations of the foundations of our culture of disrespect of women including our culture of male dominated patriarchy; job performance based on male leadership models; and opposing Strict Father and Progressive mindsets (unconscious moral perspectives formed in childhood that drive our political beliefs and voting habits in adulthood -- George Lakoff). - how women lead differently than men with some research indicating the women's leadership model is superior. Much more is presented in Third Act: Women Rise and Roar that gives direction for reaching the goals of equality and respect for women. The MeToo and TimesUp movements have encouraged more women to speak out against their predators. After the gigantic 2017 Women's March in D.C., Gloria Steinem said "We have people power, and we will use it." Third Act: Women Rise and Roar gives powerful information to change agents to strengthen their current efforts.
