Get to Know Yourself as a Woman is an insightful and helpful book that will help women find their inner strength. Author Hilaria Petrus has written a book which will inspire readers.

Get to Know Yourself as a Woman is a self-help book written by Petrus about how women can empower themselves. In this book, Petrus writes about how women shouldn’t underestimate themselves in their relationships and in their lives. Petrus advocates for women to analyze their lives and overcome the obstacles in their lives which hold them back. She gives advice to women, such as to become more spiritual and pray to God to help solve their problems.

Petrus gives advice to men to be more spiritually aware and to have more self-discipline in their lives. She also writes about men, for the large majority of them, should be more mature and more considerate towards women. Petrus wants male and female readers to embrace their biological differences. Petrus writes that men tend to be more logical

and women can be more emotional when talking to each other. She believes men and women should talk to each other while acknowledging their different ways of communication. While a woman may want to openly talk about her feelings, a man may be more hesitant to share how he feels. However, with an open heart and with open communication, men and women can lovingly relate to each other. Petrus also wants male and female readers to have more patience with each other in their relationships.

Petrus’ writing is very conversational and relatable; readers will be able to feel she is talking directly to them. Get to Know Yourself as a Woman has practical advice in which readers will relate to, with Petrus giving step-by-step advice on how women can improve their lives. Petrus’ personal anecdotes about how she learned to find self- acceptance among her sisters adds an endearing touch to the text. Get to Know Yourself as a Woman also drives home the spiritual themes of the text with Bible quotes interspersed throughout the book.

Get to Know Yourself as a Woman would be best for people who seek to have self-help books improve their lives, from the confidential framework of sitting in their favorite chair and reading a book rather than joining group sessions. Fans of self-help authors like Iyanla Vanzant and Marianne Williamson will like the concepts revealed by Hilaria Petrus. Readers that want to learn more about self-improvement with a religious theme will also be inspired by this book. Church groups and women’s literary groups could possibly distribute Get to Know Yourself as a Woman as part of a book discussion group. Get to Know Yourself as a Woman is a book which will help in the foundation of understanding and allowing for women to grasp a more powerful ability to cope with the challenges life throws out at them.
