America Needs A Woman President  re-ignites the flame in Liberty’s torch, and puts Her in the White House. A must read!

 

America Needs A Woman President calls on empowered feminine archetypes to rescue us from our present political malaise. Brett Bevell’s imaginative poem, enhanced by Eben Dodd’s skillful drawings, is a funny, wise, and important book

 

Imagine a President who leads with a mother’s love, the forgiving humor of a grandmother, and the wisdom of a Medicine Woman, and you have the basic idea of Brett Bevell’s poem America Needs A Woman President. These words, beautifully illustrated by artist Eben Dodd, give hope for a new paradigm of leadership at a time when we need it most.

 

Inspiring, balanced and intelligent, this book asks us to embrace that aspect of ourselves known as the Divine Feminine, something often missing from our political leaders both male and female, and welcomes it straight into the White House. So simply written, it makes one wonder why we have waited so long for qualities like these in our political leaders.

 

BLURBO-MANIA FOR AMERICA NEEDS A WOMAN PRESIDENT

Brett's worshipful invocation of a "Goddess in Office" proposes a 

government based on wisdom and compassion, describing qualities we'd 

like to expect from a world leader -- whether or not we throw our 

vote to the first presidential candidate in a skirt.

Brett Bevel makes an eloquent and passionate plea for sanity in America Needs a Woman President. Truer words were never written, nor been so timely. America absolutely does need a woman president — before it is too late.
