"It Takes a Woman to Empower Women" Offers Survivors a Powerful Roadmap from Survival to Self-Sufficiency
Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2025/05/1748619731.jpgIn a world where countless women are seeking not just healing, but lasting transformation after abuse, Johanna Crawford's groundbreaking book, It Takes a Woman to Empower Women , emerges as a vital resource. Awarded the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, this candid, practical, and deeply moving guide offers survivors a much-needed roadmap toward financial independence and personal power.
While many books address the emotional aftermath of abuse, It Takes a Woman goes further-providing concrete, actionable steps to help women dream big, define goals, and rebuild their lives on their own terms. Drawing on over a decade of direct work with more than 2,200 survivors through her nonprofit, Web of Benefit, Crawford combines raw memoir, survivor stories, and transformative exercises to create an interactive and collaborative resource unlike any other.
Literary Titan praised the book as "a beacon of hope for women reclaiming their power," noting Crawford's "hard-won wisdom" and the authenticity she brings through her own personal experiences. From powerful affirmations and journaling prompts to real-life success stories like that of Choko, a doctor who rebuilt her life in the U.S. after fleeing abuse, the book weaves a tapestry of inspiration grounded in reality.
It Takes a Woman stands as a powerful testimony to the strength of women who have endured and triumphed. Through its pages, Crawford invites readers not only to survive, but to thrive -and to reimagine what is possible when women support one another in their journeys forward.
Ready to reclaim your life and redefine your future? It Takes a Woman to Empower Women is available now in paperback and Kindle editions. Whether you're a survivor, a supporter, or an advocate for change, this book offers the tools, inspiration, and guidance you need.
