Elizabeth Debold - Where Are the Women?

From the turn of the century to the cultural revolution of the 60s, the women's movement has radically changed just about everything we thought we knew about the female gender. Women are freer than they've ever been to reach higher, to achieve more—culturally, artistically, financially, and politically. And as with most mass movements, it took the selfless dedication and unshakable conviction of a select few to catalyze vast changes in society and culture, and in this case, to change our collective consciousness forever. But that was then...

Today, the feminist movement is arguably adrift. Though there are more women that ever vying for high places in business and culture traditionally reserved for men, there appears to be a notable lack of women at the leading edge of deep cultural change. Where are the bold, pioneering women who are ready to take another great leap forward, who are willing to take the consciousness of women and men alike to the next stage in humanity's evolution and future?

In this inspired presentation, based off the work done for a feature article in the June-August issue of EnlightenNext, senior editor Elizabeth Debold combines twenty years of research in the field of women's development with her personal passion for evolutionary spiritual transformation, in this bold call for a new women's liberation.
