URGENT Message from MOTHER by Jean Shinoda Brolen (2005): “Women are experienced in looking after the children and fragile elders, cleaning up, setting the house in order, being frugal with resources, putting food on the table, maintaining peace in the family, and staying on good terms with the neighbors. These are the same tasks that need doing in the community, and on a national and planetary scale. The world needs what women can do. The world needs ‘mother’ to set things right in our unbalanced world (p. 8). Not restricted to ‘women who give birth’ but as an archetype [e.g., Mother Earth], a principle, in both women and men, that holds for love, compassion, respect for all people, animals and plants (p. 15). From the first Mother’s Day Proclamation, as a call for women to gather and bring peace to the world, to today, Brolen tells how and why women are uniquely suited to the task to save trees, jobs and lives (adapted from book jacket).”
