For those who have been to the Sisters meetings, you may have seen me toting around this book as it is one of the best ones geared toward green women. Featured on Oprah and a forward written by Julia Roberts, this book has definitely hit the mainstream and it does have a lot of great info.

Now, here are my two cents. I have a feeling that either women will like this book, or think it’s too cute. Personally, I am kind of in the middle, but leaning towards too cute. I want a little bit more seriousness applied to my green principals. But the facts and resources listed in this book are spot on and exactly what I would recommend to others.

I am really glad to see some more books coming out geared just for women – with all of the beauty, cleansers and children’s products we encounter, this is a great reference manual. I also found it really practical – combatting the urge to shop and consume (which was me about a year ago) and getting in touch with your natural side. The book definitely sets a realistic tone and guides you towards small steps, instead of feeling guilty for not being ‘mother earth’ instantly overnight.

I would highly recommend this book.
