If Women Rose Rooted: A Life-changing Journey to Authenticity and Belonging

The inspiring eco-feminist memoir and manifesto that changes lives

‘If women remember that once upon a time we sang with the tongues of seals and flew with the wings of swans, that we forged our own paths through the dark forest while creating a community of its many inhabitants, then we will rise up rooted, like trees. And if we rise up rooted, like trees... well then, women might indeed save not only ourselves, but the world.’

Following a breakdown, Sharon Blackie left her corporate job and moved to the far north of Scotland in search of authenticity and belonging. Her quest for a connected life - working the land, listening for native wisdom and myth - will chime with any woman who has felt out of tune

With lyrical, visceral writing, this rallying cry for the re-wilding of womanhood has gathered followers and readers across the world.
