The book "Beacons
of Hope" highlights
many of the women who struggle to make this world a better place
for
the
present
and coming generations. The women that speak out against all sorts
of suppression and wrong doing, have often had the experience of
the suffering they address first hand. Yet, it is not a book about
suffering, but about hope.
Without putting the finger of blame and without judging certain
cultural traditions, the author, Marion Verweij, paints a picture
of rites and habits still existing in the world today, that cause
harm to women sometimes for the rest of their lives.
The book also presents certain qualities that are universal and
apply to any human being, not just to women. Many of the women
spoken of in the book embody these qualities, and as the case is
made that they are no different from any of us, it opens the way
to each person to acquire these qualities for him or her self,
and so make the world a better place.
It would be folly to think that, as this is a book about women,
it is only for women to read. It is a book about human beings,
and about how to preserve or win back our humanity, the most important
thing of all.
