Her struggle with her own voice set her on the journey that led her to discover her vocation. She has spent her life re-finding and re-empowering voices, particularly the lost voices of women. Watching her highly intelligent working-class mother and grandmother ignored and often silenced gave her the insight to investigate why that was and how to help women overcome this centuries-old issue. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith warmth and humour, Rodenburg interrogates Shakespeare's texts and his presentation of female characters; develops the notion of rhetoric in relation to the female voice; and applies concepts explored in her previous books, including The Three Circles of Energy. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnd, perhaps most crucially, through arguing that power and voice are directly linked to breath, Rodenburg makes the case that Western society's oppression of women has diminished their natural ability to breathe. \u003cbr\u003eExploring the female voice through practical exercises and stories from the front line, as well as profoundly personal and formative experiences from her own life, Rodenburg defines the art of accessing the voice within and reclaiming the woman's right to speak.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46631873314974,"sku":"UBD-9781350276543","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350276543.jpg?v=1774310797","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350276543","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
