Every. Woman. Can. Make. Herstory. Her story. That’s the inspiration for Rebecca Sive’s new book (January 2022) for women leaders, advocates, and activists: Make Herstory Your Story: Your Guided Journal to Justice Every Day for Every Woman.
Make Herstory Your Story is an illustrated journal and workbook, including more than 45 inspirational graphics and writing prompts that move readers to journal their dreams into reality. Organized in three sections: Imagine. Create. Organize., it aims to create the life every woman and girl deserves with practical advice for building projects, organizations — even movements.
Make Herstory Your Story reminds us that every woman — not just the rich, powerful, or famous — can have a positive impact on her community, changing the world for all. It champions the quiet but powerful voice in each of us that wants to be heard. Indeed, Make Herstory Your Story is for every woman who dreams of making the world a better place and is committed to doing the work to get that done.
Make Herstory Your Story is ideal for groups of activists seeking a context for discussion and a springboard to action; available wherever fine books are sold; and at-cost to women’s, girls,’ and movement organizations.
