KIRKUS REVIEWS: THE NINE LIVES OF WOMAN - An Empowering and Informative Read for Women of All Ages

We’re thrilled to share that The Nine Lives of Woman by Christine Mason, founder of Rosebud Woman, has been awarded a prestigious Kirkus Star—an honor reserved for books of exceptional merit.

In this groundbreaking work of nonfiction, Mason reimagines the traditional life stages of women, moving beyond "maiden, matron, crone" to offer a richer, more expansive framework: Foundation, Awakening, Sovereignty, Matrescence, Segue, Metamorphosis, The Free Period, The Glide, and The Resolution.

Kirkus Reviews calls the book “an empowering and informative read for women of all ages,” praising its integration of scientific insight, spiritual depth, and social commentary. From reclaiming sexuality with terms like “sexual debut” to honoring each woman’s unique context and pace, Mason's approach is both deeply inclusive and refreshingly honest.

This recognition underscores the book’s impact as a guide, a companion, and a powerful lens for understanding womanhood across a lifetime.
