Co-founder of the Omega Institute, Elizabeth Lesser, believes that if women’s voices had been equally heard and respected throughout history, humankind would have followed different hero myths and guiding stories—stories that value caretaking, champion compassion, and elevate communication over vengeance and violence. She joined us to talk about her new book, "Cassandra Speaks."
