THE WOMANS VOICE - PATSY RODENBURG KARTONIERT (TB)

Why are so many women still not properly listened to? Why do they sometimes feel that they're
less interesting than they are? Why do they often rush when they speak? Why do some women feel
the pressure to sound like little girls? From one of the world's leading experts on the voice
comes this call to arms for women to reclaim their voices. Using elements of experience and
practice from her prolific career  Patsy Rodenburg examines these questions  and many more  to
decipher what lies at the heart of female empowerment. From the age of four  Rodenburg knew
that she found communication difficult. Her struggle with her own voice set her on the journey
that led her to discover her vocation. She has spent her life re-finding and re-empowering
voices  particularly the lost voices of women. Watching her highly intelligent working-class
mother and grandmother ignored and often silenced gave her the insight to investigate why that
was and how to help women overcome this centuries-old issue. With warmth and humour  Rodenburg
interrogates Shakespeare's texts and his presentation of female characters  develops the notion
of rhetoric in relation to the female voice  and applies concepts explored in her previous
books  including The Three Circles of Energy. And  perhaps most crucially  through arguing that
power and voice are directly linked to breath  Rodenburg makes the case that Western society's
oppression of women has diminished their natural ability to breathe. Exploring the female voice
through practical exercises and stories from the front line  as well as profoundly personal and
formative experiences from her own life  Rodenburg defines the art of accessing the voice
within and reclaiming the woman's right to speak.
