Absolute must read! One of the strongest books about being a woman i've ever read. It helped me much to understand myself, my behavior and my environment. It is a wild mix of fantasy, psychology and history. This book includes: Analyzing myths and fairytales Finding hidden messages Symbolism Psychology Feminism Learning about yourself Learning to listen to your own intuition Recognizing predators Finding peace with yourself

This was a fascinating read! Some of the language didn't age seamlessly, but I believe the teachings very well still work even though the definition of womanhood does not hold true anymore. Very thought-provoking, even if I don't agree with everything said. Will ponder the contents of this for a while to come, but thoroughly enjoyed myself reading, exploring the stories weaved and analyzed within and the narration by the author was superb
