Patricia Lynn Reilly's poem "Imagine a Woman" was first published in 1995 in her book A God Who Looks Like Me. In 1999 Conari Press recognized the popularity and power of the “Imagine a Woman” poem and published Patricia’s third book, Imagine a Woman in Love with Herself, which is organized around 20 stanzas of the poem. On International Women's Day, 2006, House Whip, Sandy Kalyan, read four stanzas of the "Imagine a Woman" poem in the South African National Assembly. She reminded those present that in 1994 President Mandela committed the South African Parliament to gender equality and the emancipation of women. He said, "Freedom can't be achieved unless women are emancipated from all forms of oppression."In June of this year, the "Imagine a Woman" poem traveled to Rwanda. 100 genocide survivors received t-shirts with the poem in English on front, and in Rwandan on back. In partnership with Global Grassroots and Kula for Karma, the poem was the centerpiece of an empowerment process to inspire the women to create stanzas based on their lives and situations.Since 1995, the copyrighted poem has circled the globe, inspiring books, screenplays, videos, life transitions, professional portfolios, ministries, coaching practices, relationships, virtual communities, social networks, businesses, and organizational missions. This year is the poem’s 15th anniversary. Patricia and her team are celebrating by expanding the poem’s international presence and platform.Join us to imagine new possibilities, self-understandings, and experiences, with Patricia Lynn Reilly.
