Outspoken: Why Women’s Voices Get Silenced and How to Set Them Free

Why is it so many women aren’t being heard - at work, at home, and even on the political stage? And what can we do about it? Too often women are criticized if they do speak up as being too loud or pushy. Some are not taken seriously because of the sound of their voice. If they remain quiet, they are dismissed as being too meek. Veronica Ruekert will help us understand our reluctance to speak up and give us ways to reclaim our voice.
