			If you have ever imagined a world without violence, hunger, or hatred, a world that supports life, rather than destroys it - Warrior Mothers points the way to your ability to make a difference. Twenty-five women, from all walks of life, offer their personal stories to inspire and awaken us from apathy and despair to a call to action. Armed with passion, a fierce protective nature and the undeniable wisdom of the ages, these women change the world one person, one block, one cause, one city at a time. Each woman’s story affirms a belief in humanity’s capacity to make changes and supports the dream that a better future is possible. These stories show us that making a difference in the world doesn’t take a person who is rich, famous or highly educated. Sometimes, out of simple ordinary lives, events occur that spur us into action. LaDonna Redmond tells her story about her infant son who was faced with a life threatening illness from the food he was eating. She decided to to organize the first Black Farmers Market and is now organizing the first organic Food Coop in her community. Terry Sweringen heard about a toxic incinerator being built 400 yards from an elementary school and became a full-time activist to shut it down. Marsha Green fell in love with whales on a vacation in Hawaii and is now spearheading the battle against LFA Sonar testing which has killed hundreds of marine mammals. The women show that it doesn’t take a super heroine to create change. Most of the women took their first step unknowingly, guided by a calling they could not ignore. Like throwing a pebble into a still pond, a simple thought became an act rippling outward, gathering energy like a wave rolling across the ocean. Whether it involved their family, their community or the world, each woman was moved by a deep inner wisdom, an undeniable call, that transformed their lives and those around them - a call awakening the flames of the heart. *"Warrior Mothers is an inspiring book that will help awaken the fierce, life-loving energy in all of us."* Starhawk "Creative and visionary women whose stories can bring transformation as 21st century models for us, our daughters, our boys, and our men.

Bush and the Hubris of Empire, Co-host of Corporations and Democracy *"Warrior Mothers is a vivid signpost, pointing to some of the ways in which today's women can make a much-needed difference."* Barbara G. Walker, author of The Woman's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets “All of these are remarkable stories of grit and passion, deep heart and deep intelligence.
