Drawing on Marianne Williamson’s own experiences and reflections, as well as her interactions with many women across the USA and Europe, this book gives her very personal view of the feminine spirit. She explores the many facets of contemporary womanhood - family, work, sex, love, power - and investigates the distinctive pattern of women’s spiritual and emotional life. She also examines the enduring power of female archetypes, from women healers to women who run with wolves. The book is full of insight, support and advice on how to create inner strength and so live fully in the modern world. Marianne Williamson is the author of A Return to Love .
