A follow up from the bestselling Self-Compassion， this book shows why it is more urgent than ever that women acknowledge their areas of suffering， celebrate their inner voice and challenge the male-orientated status quo。

The book will draw on Kristin Neff's own life story as well as the stories of other women to show how readers can harness self-compassion and gain the strength， clarity and courage needed to be resilient and stand up for themselves in our male-dominated society。

She'll explore core issues such as gender differences， why we aren't more compassionate to themselves， and what women do for love。 With expert research， concrete tools and easy-to-follow mindfulness practices， this book will empower women to let go of self-criticism， draw boundaries and become fierce。
