What's The Buzz

"Kate Green has written a powerful first novel. The major themes of love, transformation, confronting evil, and making friends with the ancestors are woven together in a tale of three women who, as they come to discover, live on the leading edge of planetary change. The book is potent, passionate, profound — and hilariously funny. It is truly a groundbreaking work."
~ Nancy H. Bancroft,
author of The Feminine Quest for Success (Berrett-Koehler, 1995)

"It is rare to happen upon a book that meshes so many elements so seamlessly. Kate Green, in her novel The Hundredth Woman, combines intriguing story lines and strongly-etched characters within a framework of ancient wisdom, modern psychology and timeless feminism. I enjoyed her playful style, even while tackling serious topics, and I found myself deeply caring about her central characters and their individual quests. Some of the situations she has imagined in this book are real cliff-hangers, that drew me in like the enduring serial short-films of the 1940s and '50s — 'come back to the movie theatre next week to see if our heroine rescues herself from the path of the oncoming locomotive!' This book, The Hundredth Woman, is well-worth the price of admission and chock-full of life-enhancing observations and provocation."

"Speaking as a man, I found The Hundredth Woman empowering, fun and wonderfully challenging . Kate Green's novel is a passionate, exciting read that turns the 'battle' of Good and Evil on its ear. Women are elevated to a place of empowerment in themselves (where they should always have been), and this is achieved without falling into the very common men bashing found in other fare. Women and men are true equals, learning and growing and loving. Just because we're portrayed as equals doesn't mean we men don't have a great deal to learn from the women around us. Make no mistake, the women drive this story and thank the Goddess they do. This story is sexy, funny and above all a page turner. Each new character brings a zest to the read. And to top it off Ms. Green uses its fast plot and deep, lovely characters to tell a story that shows us how to love better, how to heal ourselves and the world and, most of all, how to start making changes in our lives to make them happier, more fulfilling and engaged."

"The Hundredth Woman is far more than a darn good yarn about some likable women dealing with life's lumps and finding their individual ways to move the world the way they want it to go. It's also an immediate inspiration - you can identify with these women and see that
you can move the world too - and it provides a box of tools to help you do it. Have a great time enjoying the story, then go out and be the Hundredth Woman - that's what I'm doing after reading this book."

"I loved The Hundredth Woman. The characters are real women who are great role models for how to find and follow your path in life, whatever that may be. They demonstrate how living with passion can transform us as individuals, and can transform the world. Through the characters, the author shares the secret keys to a happier, richer life: open your heart, love enthusiastically, laugh often, connect with nature,
be persistent in following your dreams, despite the obstacles, and make connections with like-minded souls from all realms. I found the women and their relationships to be an inspiration, and a reminder that I am not alone in my personal quest. There ARE other women like me out there - women who want their lives to be richer, more meaningful, and more connected. This novel helps us to see how to accomplish that. I plan to give this book to several of my friends, and will re-read it regularly."
