Pain Perspectives: Finding Meaning in the Fire

Pain Perspectives is an anthology that tells the stories of women's bodies and their experiences of chronic pain and illness. It also reveals the deep wisdom held within the suffering.



The art, writing, and poetry from women around the world showcased in this book offers three clear messages. The first is that women are sick both metaphorically and physically. Lots of women. The second is that it is the patriarchal systems and structures in society are the origin of the sickness. Patriarchy hurts. The third is that the path of Goddess is both the medicine and the cure. Pleasure liberates.



Read how Goddess and Goddess spirituality supports women to heal and find their voice, so that others may too.
