If Women Ran the World, Sh*t Would Get Done: Celebrating All the Wonderful, Amazing, Stupendous, Inspiring, Buttkicking Things Women Do (Inspiration and Daily Affirmations for Women)

By Shelly Rachanow

The Perfect Gift for a Woman Who Wants More for Her Gender

Packed with little-known sheroes and empowering journaling prompts, this book and interactive journal is a must-have for those who believe the world would be a better place with women in charge.

Feel inspired and empowered by historical women. The importance of women is written throughout history, in big ways and small. From women in science to women in sports to the women in leadership positions paving the way for change, the stories of these sheroes are sources of hope and direction for girls, young and old, everywhere. By turning to their example, we too can be change-makers and champions of women empowerment. With the help of their “butt-kicking inspiration,” we can see our own potential and find the motivation we need to get up and accomplish our goals.

Dream about the kind of world you'd run. Author Shelly Rachanow shares the many ways in which women do for others, from their families to their friends to the wider world (hint: the list goes on and on). She then asks readers to consider how much woman power has shaped the world, and turns the question to us: what are our buttkicking ideas for changing the world around us? These empowering journal prompts ask us to look inward, at our own role as women, and decide how we will make the world a better place for our children and those who come after us. By writing down our own ambitions, and looking to the example of iconic female leaders, we take a step towards making our dreams a reality.

Dive into this interactive journal and learn more about:

• The many significant accomplishments of women throughout history
• The role each of us plays in changing the world for the better
• How to join the movement for female empowerment

Doing . . . for Our Families

Women do so much to nurture, protect, and heal our families. From the days when we emptied chamber pots, trudged through the snow to the apothecary, and scoped out the local butcher's son as a potential sonin- law, to today, when we clean out an Ernie-and-Bert potty, drive to the pharmacy at 4:00 a.m., and remind our my-life-is-over teenager that she's wonderful even though Joe (or was it Tom?) hasn't called, women are always doing for the people we love, and we're not afraid to use strong language or just-manicured fingernails if required.

Like Shirley MacLaine in the movie Terms of Endearment, we'll run around a nurse's station like a banshee screaming, My daughter is in pain. Give her the shot. Do you understand me? Give my daughter the shot! without a second thought as to what someone might say or think.

Women do whatever we must to keep our families safe, protected, and loved. We always have. It's what we do.

Things Women Do for Their Families . . . (Between 7:55 and 8:00 A.M.)
