Endorsements
This is an insightful and thought-provoking work that will be
welcomed by women of all ages. The examples chosen speak to the reader and
her experience of life. Throughout, the tone is thoughtful, responsible,
accessible. While troubled by the way women are, and have been received,
Julia tends to state the point, let the fact or situation speak for itself,
and then move on.

Women have been invalidated, verbally and non-verbally, for centuries.
Julia has the ability to see things for what they are. If you want an objective
awareness about things, read her book. If you would like things politically
correct, read someone else's book.

As a post-mastectomy fitting specialist for the last 28 years,
I am an avid reader of all things women. This book is wonderful!!!!! I am
so excited... The author makes me laugh with her style and wince with her
truth. The book will be in my reception area, shared with my clients from
all walks of life, and in all stages of breast cancer recovery.

The devaluation of the feminine has created a world badly out
of balance. In order to restore the balance, women need to understand our
own history, much of which has been previously omitted or purged from the
historical record. Indeed, given the wealth of new material available about
women's contributions, it is now our responsibility (as well as our joy)
to learn the "secret" history of women so we may override the
unconscious messages of inferiority or unimportance we have internalized
over centuries of oppression. And that is the joy of this book. May it become
an open secret!

Julia has written a reader-friendly book that is required reading
for women of all ages who desire to empower themselves. She has selected
astonishing stories from history excluded by most historians and has woven
these tales into a refreshing and inspiring look at what women have been
able to accomplish even with the limitations of repression. This is a book
for any woman or man who understands the need for restoring respect for
the feminine and for creating balance between the sexes in a patriarchal
world that has led us to the brink of destroying our planet.

The Secret History of Weeds contains everything I wanted to know
about being a
woman---- but my mother never told me--- just as her mother never told her.
This book removes society's veil of illusion and empowers women to be all
God created them to be in a fulfilling, happy life.

Julia Jones inspired me all over again. Just when I thought my
tank
was almost on empty, her words were like fuel, taking me closer down the
road toward equality, keeping me on the path of being the uppity and
outspoken woman I have become.
