Physician and Jungian analyst Jean Shinoda Bolen takes us to the horizon of our understanding about the special wisdom that comes to women after menopause on The Wise-Woman Archetype. Join the bestselling author of Goddesses in Everywoman as she plows ancient ground to uncover the roots of the sacred wise woman/crone archetype. Early societies, Bolen teaches, looked at menopause as a "withholding of the blood," not to make a child as in youth, but to make wisdom. Bolen shows how women today can tap into this powerful archetype and reclaim their natural wisdom and authority. Explores the sacred dimensions of the crone archetype and the wisdom of menopause.
