In recent decades, women have begun to claim their authority and knowledge in a way that is reminiscent of John Stuart Mill's prophetic comment that no understanding of women would ever be possible until women themselves began to tell what they know. The authenticity of women's knowledge about themselves is now beginning to be recognized as women assume more authoritative roles in the world. As we women tell the stories of our personal and professional lives, we begin to see the threads in the fabric of womankind, our commonalities as well as our differences. The stories of women's lives serve as models of courage for the women and men who listen.
