"Call me a Woman: On Our Way to Equality and Peace by Laurie Levin is one of the most fact-filled and eye-opening easy reads of our time that breaks down the reality and what we can do about it around inequality. Not only for women, this book represents equality and just being a better human being as our eyes are opened to laws, operations, beliefs and social norms that continue to keep us in the same place. The time has come for this book and it should be used in every social, educational, corporate, and governmental curriculum as reference."
-Anna Pereira, CEO, Soul Ventures, Founder, The Wellness Universe
"This book brilliantly articulates the status of gender equality in this moment, and how much of the problem is unconscious beliefs and traditions. This book is a clarion call to our hearts and minds to consciously do better. Levin provides a vision of what could be... peace, freedom, and equality. A must read for this moment."
-Rebecca Now, Executive Director and Historical ReEnactor of Elizabeth Cady Stanton
"Call Me a Woman: On Our Way to Equality and Peace is a book both long overdue and ahead of its time. Levin beautifully frames our current society, the actions and beliefs that got us here, and where we need to go to form a more perfect humanity for all of us."
-Martin Harvey, Founder & CEO, White Whale Web Design
"Laurie Levin's personal story of the loss of her mother at the tender age of 11 opened up a floodgate of emotions. As an oncologist, I witnessed the indescribable pain of those whose lives were shattered by losing the most important person in their lives. Women provide the love, nurturing and heart often not provided by men.
Levin's book knocks it out of the park, and I'm excited by the impact it will have to inspire the next generation and open the minds of the men in our world. Let's honor all the women in our lives because the world cannot heal without us."
-Delia Garcia, MD
"I highly recommend this book and believe it's the perfect gift for high school graduates, women who are starting their careers, women who are marrying, planning a family. In other words, for every woman who wonders if she can 'have it all' and wants to know what she and the men in her life can do."
-Lori Bunton, Co-President, ERA-NC Alliance
"Laurie Levin's new book, Call Me a Woman: On Our Way to Equality and Peace, movingly shows how traditional gender roles can cause dysfunction within families and both physical and psychological harm for women. Levin's book effectively shows how changing from traditional habits of inequality to habits of equality can help each of us as individuals and benefit society at large. This book needs to be read, heard and heeded by men as well as women!"
-Keith Holzmueller, Former Vice President, Ipsos and TNS Global
"Levin's opening stories bring back memories of treatment over the years that I have brushed over. Why? It's a norm that we all have been accepting, which needs to change. Her wedding scene example is spot on. Bringing awareness to the fact that women of all ages are referred to as 'girls' hits home. I am definitely guilty of such terminology. Becoming aware is such a critical and vital step to equality and Call Me a Woman nails it."
