This book was directly involved in at least two big breakthroughs in my therapy sessions. I am so glad I found it on the shelf of a thrift store, “old” and dusty as it was. The timing was a good one, as I have been accepting and trying to heal my feminine self and inner child. While I was not identifying with every archetype in this book, I certainly knew a woman in my life who would. This stays in my personal library.
The only reason it’s not a 5 star is that I couldn’t quite get behind the Jungian dream narrative and analysis. Tons of value without it, however.

Really enjoyed this. Gave a basic overview of "types" of women (and men), such as the Ice Queen, the Dragon Lady, the Visionary, the Recluse, etc. and how women and men healed from to much or overwhelming versions of those archetypes, and came to terms with themselves.
