CASSANDRA SPEAKS When Women Are the Storytellers, the Human Story Changes

Xe Sands is a steady, consistent voice for this feminist volume on rethinking spiritual tales across a variety of cultures. She captures the confident, assertive tone of the project overall, which encourages listeners to reconsider the masculine slant of history and historical records. From Eve to the contemporary woman, we are in safe hands as Sands navigates the academic and religious underpinnings of major narratives that silenced women. Listeners who are interested in feminist studies will find much to admire here. This volume can be listened to in the order the chapters are presented or dipped into based on the topics that appeal. Sands makes it an easy as well as informative listening experience. M.R. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2020]
