Elizabeth Lesser, CASSANDRA SPEAKS

Elizabeth Lesser is an author, cofounder of Omega Institute, has given two popular TED talks, and is a member of Oprah Winfrey's SuperSoul100. She told Zibby that she's been preparing her whole life to write her fourth book, Cassandra Speaks. Elizabeth shared that her curiosity about power and perspective stemmed from her childhood growing up as the daughter of a feminist mother and a domineering father and the question she has pursued since: what about history and culture would be different if women were the storytellers?
