Praise for Simply Feminine

“Simply Feminine is a cutting-edge exploration into how women can rediscover their femininity from the viewpoint of men who behold and adore them.”

– John Gray Ph.D.,

#1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Men Are from Mars,

Women are from Venus

“Never has a book spoken so clearly and honestly about the need for gender equality instead of gender neutrality. In my 40-year global journey studying and teaching authentic leadership and effective relationship principles, I am shocked by the masculinity movement among women as a misguided ticket to the corporate boardroom and the feminization of men to make them appear gentler. Morgan Wonderly is laser-accurate in her research and message on the true essence of male-female interaction. This is an urgent, must-read book!”

– Dr. Denis Waitley,

Internationally recognized speaker and author of 16 books, including The Seeds of Greatness

“Femininity is a natural and beautiful part of human nature when used authentically and absent manipulative intent. In Simply Feminine, Morgan Wonderly reveals the natural essence of femininity from a man’s perspective and the role it plays in loving and sustainable relationships.”

– Sharon Lechter,

International Bestselling Author of Think and Grow Rich for Women, and Co-author of Outwitting the Devil, Three Feet from Gold

and Rich Dad, Poor Dad

“As a founder of the “Make a Wish Foundation,” I care deeply about the betterment of humanity. I recommend Simply Feminine because its refreshing message promotes love, appreciation and cooperation between men and women.”

– Frank Shankwitz,

A Founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation,

Co-author of Once Upon a Wish and Wishman

“I am beyond impressed with Simply Feminine. This is a book every man and woman needs to read. We have lost so much in our relationships where women have become more like men and men have become more like women. As we meet in an androgynous middle, we lose all that we love about each other and, more importantly, what we NEED from each other to feel loved. This is one of those rare books where we intuitively know the absolute truth of what is written and need to be reminded what it is we love and admire about the opposite sex.”

– Parviz Firouzgar,

Bestselling Author of “Side Effects May Include Happiness”

“A rare and valuable guide for understanding men and their adoration and appreciation of women’s femininity.”

– Greg S. Reid,

Author and Co-author of numerous books including

Co-author of Three Feet from Gold

“I wholeheartedly endorse Morgan Wonderly’s book for providing a much needed roadmap for women and men to celebrate their differences and come together in cooperation vs competition.”

– Berny Dohrmann,

Author of Redemption, the Cooperation Revolution

Founder of CEO Space International,

Forbes #1 ranked business growth conference

“What I learned from reading this insightful, eye-opening guide to true and powerful femininity was that my own femininity was not a weakness, but one of my greatest strengths. For decades I had disguised my femininity in masculine attire and consciousness, relinquishing all of the joys and inner power that accompany the expression of my true and buried femininity. Today I joyfully dance in the fullest expression of who I am at the deepest level of my soul…by being ‘Simply feminine.”

– Dr. Marilyn Joyce,

Author of Instant E.N.E.R.G.Y.™

and Founder of Kick Cancer in The Can®

“A must read for ALL men and women. Finally, sanity prevails in how to have a loving relationship between a man and a woman. Forget feminism, embrace your femininity!”

– Aimee Elizabeth,

Bestselling Author of Poverty Sucks! How to Become a Self-Made Millionaire

Introduction

In the fall of 2006, having been divorced for two years and missing that emotional intimacy that only comes from a love relationship, I was keenly interested in exploring every piece of wisdom I could find on the subject of relationships. I learned about an upcoming David Deida seminar near my home in San Diego, California that I eagerly decided to attend. That evening he went deep into the topic of masculine-feminine polarity and why it’s so important in today’s relationships. The words I heard that evening were refreshing revelations to me. That was the night I had my first epiphany that inspired the writing of this book on femininity.

Not long after that evening, my friend Robert came to visit me from New Zealand. We started discussing the idea of my writing a book on femininity. Then, at a key point, he said something I’ve never forgotten…
