Jane in the Jungle was written as a metaphor for empowering women and girls in living out the true gift we are in our lives and in the world at large. It is from this viewpoint of life as an adventure with many twists and turns, that we learn so much from our experiences along the way. In the background, the metaphor is the possibility of women's voices being heard in the world in 100 percent partnership with men. Empowering women adds not only to their lives and their loved ones' lives; it creates the possibility of what life can be on this planet earth for everyone.
