Urgent and provocative, We: A Manifesto for Women Everwhere is "part self-help, part social theory, centered in the idea that instead of having it 'all,' women can live happier, better lives by becoming more free" (Glamour), from longtime friends Gillian Anderson and Jennifer Nadel.
We: A Manifesto for Women Everywhere is an uplifting, timely, and practical manual for creating change in women's lives, with nine universal principles that help you confront life's inevitable emotional and spiritual challenges. It's about transitioning from a me-first culture and imagining what a we-based world might look like.

In We, Anderson and Nadel ask why so many women are locked in cycles of depression, addiction, self-criticism, and even self-harm. How much more effective and powerful would we all be if we replaced our current patterns of competition, criticism, and comparison with collaboration, cooperation, and compassion?

Putting these values at the center of our lives allows each of us to be happier and more empowered, and to replace harmful habits with a more positive, peaceful, and rewarding way of being. We is a rallying cry for "every woman, everywhere on the planet. Open to any page. And there you will find a truth that can set you free" (Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom).

      Actress Gillian Anderson, Scully in "The X Files," and her writer friend Jennifer Nadel offer a manifesto that, in reality, serves comfortably entitled Anglo-American women, rather than the grandly promised "women everywhere" of its title. Anderson reads at a steady pace in her American accent, while, in contrast to Anderson's style, Nadel's overly deliberate pacing and London accent make her passages sound almost lugubrious. Their call to action revolves around feeling better about yourself through self-caring activities (yoga, counseling) and a broad reminder that "all" women form a sisterhood. Interest in this is most likely to come from Anderson and Nadel's peers, who may find it soothing rather than igniting. F.M.R.G. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

      Actor Anderson and journalist Nadel’s feminist manifesto is written as a practical guide for women, using many personal insights and struggles as the beginning point for what they hope will be a miraculous journey of individual and collective healing. The book is divided into two main sections, the first highlighting four “essential practices,” or mental adjustments (such as gratitude) that are integral to the success of the implementation of the subsequent nine principles that compose the other main section. These principles take the form of abstractions such as peace, joy, and love, but the book takes these notions out of the realm of the abstract and makes the reader work for them. Each principle chapter includes quotes, anecdotes, and exercises that require real effort; these lend the book more heft and spare it from being just another recitation of self-help platitudes.
