Resumen del Editor

"A profound roadmap for how whole systems of oppression can die if we choose to do the work." (LaTosha Brown, cofounder of Black Voters Matter)

"An inspiring, empowering clarion call and guide to become the heroines we were meant to be." (Debra Messing, actor and activist)

A soul-shaking wake-up call to the oppressive structures that keep women in their place - and a radical approach to fighting back

You were born with massive reservoirs of strength, confidence, and creativity. But oppressive structures that keep you “in your place” - that is, silent, weak, and complacent - have cut you off you from your natural gifts and pitted women against one another. Following the timeless wisdom of the heroine's journey, Becoming Heroines invites you to recover your inner power and unleash it as a force for change in the world.

For decades, Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin has been the go-to mentor for women who’ve wasted years playing by traditional rules. Now, she’ll show you how to break away from that which no longer serves you, starting by healing the painful memories that hold you back from living to your fullest capacity. You’ll learn how to confront any internalized bias contributing to systems of oppression. And joining with the growing revolution, you’ll be inspired to lend your voice to those repairing the wounds of history in order to build a future of freedom and justice for all.

At once deeply heartfelt and galvanizing, Becoming Heroines is an empowering call to recover your rightful role as the heroine of your own life. For any woman ready to rise from the ashes of trauma and grief, live out her values more radically, and lead us all to a better world, the journey begins.

moving and powerful

I have been a fan of Elizabeth's for several years. this book moved me, touched my soul, made me feel seen, inspired me to do more activism. and what a great performance too. Read with heartfelt emotion that was also very soothing to listen to. I'm about to restart it because everything in it bears repeating. thank you for this gem, Elizabeth!

One For The Ages

We are so blessed to have leaders like ECM amongst us. This book is insightful, supportive, and unflinchingly truthful. I am sure to refer to it again and again as I walk the path towards the Heroine I want to be.

A Must for White Women Who Want to Create Change

As a white woman in America who wants to create change, I really appreciated this invite to look for my own blind spots that keep me from really being able to hold space for others to lead. I don’t always know best. It’s courageous to defer to those who know a topic better than I ever could. 🙏🏻❤️

Integral Reading for Everyone.

I have followed ECMcLaughlin via her broadcasts since the beginning. She has always been a force for good. Her book is no different. With heartbreaking moments of vulnerability and direct calls to white women to DO BETTER while reminding the listener that they are on the heroine's journey, this book is everything we need right now.

Fantastic book, must read for anyone that has ever had doubts about their voice but feels the need to speak up. And let's be honest, that is just about everyone! Everyone should be reading this AND keeping a copy for a reread. I can see this as a timess classic for generations to come.
