Carol Lawrence: Maureen, what inspired you to write Awakening The Essential Feminine Claiming Your Influential Power?

Maureen Simon: The need to bring the 26 attributes together in one place so that women can learn them, claim them, live and lead with them. The research took a year and half and the writing took a year. Women hold strong feminine attributes and are pre-disposed to the feminine because of our socialization and biology “brain and hormonal.” When the world is in the state she’s in it’s because the feminine is not known or respected at the world’s tables where decisions are being made. I felt a need to identify the attributes so that she could begin to step forward and contribute in the world. She lives in all women.

Carol Lawrence: What is the essential feminine?

Maureen Simon: The essential feminine is an essential nature that holds twenty-six attributes that when learned and claimed will change the world as we now know it. They include care, compassion and relationship building, advanced intuition, right use of power and verbal agility.
