"I found Suesse’s book to be very calming and soothing. The layout and design of the book was well thought out and visually appealing. Her writing, interspersed with quotations and beautiful art and calligraphy, made for a wonderful read that I recommend to women of any age. As “Womansong- Balance & Harmony in a Feminine Key” is meant to promote discussion, it would be a solid choice for any women’s book club."

For modern women, so many roles, so little time! However, says Gwen Suesse, author of Womansong: Balance and Harmony in a Feminine Key, busy women can find time and ways to be themselves. Womansong, a series of reflections about modern womanhood, discusses how a woman can find a measure of equilibrium while also filling the multiple roles of being daughter, friend, wife, lover, mother, worker, as well as homemaker. Suesse's book is a feast of musical metaphors that stirs the imagination with possibilities for taking the many melodies of life and weaving them into one glorious whole.
Gwen Suesse has lived the modern woman's conundrums. Womansong's essays are the natural outgrowth of her struggle to reconcile the patriarchal identity of her youth with an emerging awareness that women are entitled to their own dreams and self-realization. Her quest is finding solutions not only for women themselves, but also for the people they love—their husbands, their families, their co-workers, and their communities. Gwen has a BA in Music from Wagner College, and an MAT from Harvard University. She is a certified teacher, experienced choral conductor, seasoned speaker, presenter, and workshop facilitator, as well as being human resources consultant specializing in MBTI® applications. Gwen lives in Tryon, NC, where she is active in the local arts community.
