SO LONG STATUS QUO

What I Learned From Women Who Changed the World (Beacon Hill, 2009)

What happens when nine amazing women of history inspire a suburban mom to abandon her couch and dive into real life? Cuba, welding, and jewelry for water, that’s what!

Susy’s life was a lot like her couch–comfy, slumberous, and safe. She was a happy suburban wife and mom who enjoyed her couch-like cocoon and avoided suffering and uncomfortable situations at all costs. Then she met Rose … Eleanor … Elizabeth … and Jane. Now, thanks to their example, her life will never be the same.

SO LONG STATUS QUO is the powerful story of how nine amazing historical women inspired a suburban mom to get up off her couch and embark on a quest for something more. Venturing into unusual and even dangerous places, she followed their example and found herself serving needy children on a secret humanitarian mission to Cuba, feeding the homeless, sharing her faith in pagan communities, and selling her jewelry to fund freshwater wells in Sudan.

Inspiring, convicting, and transformational, SO LONG STATUS QUO challenges women to examine their lives and answer this question: How can I become a woman who changes the world? Whether it’s by sharing your faith like Perpetua or getting your hands dirty like Rosie the Riveter, Susy invites women of all ages to say goodby to their old, couch-comfy lives and become women who change the world, starting in their own backyard.
