In The Goddesses in Everywomen, I found several archetype female characters with habits ringing true with mine. I was amazed at how much I connected with a couple of ancient greek goddess archetypes. Author Jean Shinoda Bolen does a wonderful job connecting a modern woman's psychology to ancient profiles of dominant female characters.
Examination of the greek goddesses helps us understand why there are apparent "conflicts" in our own personalities. In my case, how could I thrive in the outdoors and still love and crave a big city? I thought this was a contradiction in my life and yet, according to Dr. Bolen, these traits are expected according to the goddess I identify with.
This book is also great to help you understand other women in your life, whether they are your family, friends, or co-workers.
Don’t delay like I did. Read Goddess in Everywoman now.
