Burning Woman

International Word-of-Mouth Bestseller Burning Woman is for all those who burn with passion, have been burned with shame, and who at another time, in another place, would have been burned at the stake.

Join three-time Nautilus award-winner Lucy H. Pearce on an uncompromising journey through the history of the control of the sacred Feminine--from witch-burning to birthing practices, via acid attacks and honor-killing.

Discover the archetype of the Burning Woman and relearn how to reignite your Feminine fire.

Burning Woman explores:

Burning from within: power--how to build it, engage it, and not be destroyed by it. Burning from without: the roles of shame and honor in the time-worn ways the dominant culture uses burning to control the Feminine. The darkness: overcoming our fear of the dark and discovering its importance in cultivating power.

With contributions from leading Burning Women of our era, including Isabel Abbott, ALisa Starkweather, Shiloh Sophia McCloud, Molly Remer, Julie Daley, and Bethany Webster. This tenth anniversary edition has been revised and updated and features a new introduction by the author.
