Dominique Christina is a powerful untangler and renamer of women's hidden and not-so-hidden geographies. Her words will pull at deep threads of truth from far down inside the belly of your own becoming.
“It is no small thing, this business of knowing ourselves,” writes Dominique Christina. That’s because each of us is composed of many selves—inner players of the psyche who contribute their voices to our “I.” With This Is Woman’s Work, this award-winning poet offers insights and exercises to help us meet our council of inner women such as the Willing Woman, the Rebel, the Beggar, the Shapeshifter, and the Warrior.
Calling Forth Your Inner Council of Wise, Brave, Crazy, Rebellious, Loving, Luminous Selves
“A woman’s work is to define herself,” says award-winning slam poet Dominique Christina. While this task is important for everyone, there is an urgency for women. “When you have inherited a societal construct that names, describes, and practices an ideology that women are somehow less important, and less necessary, then the work of defining yourself carries with it a kind of fury.”
Every woman is composed of many selves—archetypal players of the psyche who contribute their voices to her greater “I.” Here, Christina creates an empowering space for women to examine their inner workings and honor the feminine aspects that make them who they are. Each chapter is devoted to a different archetype, delving into the magic and gifts of our inner world in all its forms, such as the Willing Woman, the Rebel, the Beggar, the Shapeshifter, and the Warrior.
Combining firebrand poetry, compelling inquiry, and heart-opening exercises, Christina helps us make an intimate connection with each of our inner women—known and unknown, loved and feared—so we may integrate their voices, realize their wisdom, and open ourselves to our full expression and power.
