N.E.W. – the Network to Empower Women

Bibliography of Empowerment Resources

The following is just a partial list of the many empowerment-related resources that already exist for women (and men). This is, in itself, very encouraging! A more complete listing of resources is available in the book, The Future For Women, now available from Xlibris. Highlighted below is, first, what we feel are "must-read" books about women´s empowerment, followed by a list of some other magazines, movies and music that help empower women.

There are many, many more empowerment resources. If you know of other resources that you would like to add to this list, please e-mail us and let us know about them!
