“Cassandra Speaks is about the power of love instead of the love of
power. Elizabeth Lesser speaks to the value of finding your voice
in the wilderness of these times and, of taking a new kind of
hero’s journey—one that replaces violence and domination with deep
feeling and courageous communication. What a blessing!” — Iyanla
Vanzant, author and host of Iyanla: Fix My Life (OWN)
“Blessed are the truthtellers, and Elizabeth Lesser is one of them.
Cassandra Speaks is astute and witty, tender and soulful. It’s a
tapestry of memoir, cultural commentary, and spiritual fuel that
inspires women—and all people left out of history’s storytelling—to
reclaim our lineage, to become prophetic alchemists in a world in
grave need of healing.” — Jamia Wilson, executive director and
publisher of the Feminist Press

journey to build a truly equitable society. It lays bare the

for deepening our connections and embracing our collective
humanity.” — Tony Porter, CEO of A Call to Men
“Elizabeth is a wise and powerful storyteller. Cassandra Speaks
helps us understand the roots of women’s shame and guilt and offers
a path forward—by changing our stories, we change our lives." —
Eileen Fisher, founder of Eileen Fisher, Inc.
"A book that will change women’s lives—and therefore, everyone’s
lives—by calling out the stories that have held us back for
millennia. Cassandra Speaks delivers an urgent message to
women to listen within, follow their instincts, and do power
differently." — Alyssa Milano, actor and activist
