Goddesses in Everywoman: Powerful Archetypes Women's Lives

A classic work in the field of female psychology that uses seven archetypal goddesses to describe behavior patterns and personality traits is now presented to a new generation with a fresh introduction by the author. Jean Bolen’s groundbreaking idea is that, just as women have historically been unaware of the power of cultural stereotypes, they may also be unaware of the inner archetypal forces that influence what they do and how they feel. By identifying these inner patterns and their interrelationships, the book offers approachable, real-life alternatives that move beyond rigid dichotomies such as masculine/feminine or careerist/housewife. The author presents seven archetypal goddesses—autonomous Artemis, cool Athena, nurturing Demeter, and creative Aphrodite, among others—and explains how to cultivate some while transforming or overcoming others to tap into lasting inner power and become the heroine of one’s own life story.

Using a typology grounded in Greek mythology, the book explores psychological patterns, character traits, and symptoms that need recognition before change can take place. Reprint. 20,000 first printing.
