"When sleeping women wake, mountains move." ~ African Proverb

When sleeping women wake is an African proverb that speaks to the profound power of women to change the world - in particular those who come to realize and embrace their inner might and experience an “awakening”. As author Clarissa Pinkola Estes wrote in her groundbreaking book “Women who run with wolves” ( 1989) “Though her soul requires seeing, the culture around her requires sightlessness. Though her soul wishes to speak its truth, she is pressured to be silent.”

But eventually, some earlier and some later, women awaken to their sight and their voice and their extraordinary power to move mountains.
