Artemide. Lo spirito indomito dentro la donna

In Artemis , Jean Bolen discusses the importance of archetypes and mythological stories. She asserts that we don't just enjoy the stories for their entertainment value- we respond to the psychological truths contained between the lines. I've always enjoyed academic discussions of mythological tales. I Leggi tutto

I love Jean Shinoda Bolen's approach to feminist psychological archetype. I am less excited about the few false dichotomies of gender smattered into theory, but overall, this was a wonderful book about my once-and-always favorite Greek Goddess figure (since I first discovered them at age 8). She's a Leggi tutto

I read Bolen’s Goddesses in Everywoman before this, and sadly, Artemis was not as compelling as Goddesses was. Goddesses had a good balance between theory/archetype and anecdotal evidence, and I was expecting the same proportion in this book. I was especially intrigued about the Selene/Hecate aspect Leggi tutto

3.5 stars. Much of the book resonated very strongly with me, but there are valid critiques that the content suffers from a lack of intersectionality. Would love to see an updated edition that takes diverse feminist perspectives into account.

Lo dejé por un tiempo y al retomar me gustó más! Habla de los arquetipos de las diosas y cómo cada mujer puede identificarse a lo largo de su vida

2.5 étoiles pour ce livre. Je trouve que l'auteure ne mets pas au clair au départ ce qu'est l'archétype présenté. Oui, certains aspects sont présentés et constants lors de la lecture, mais la façon dont cet archétype est présenté au fur et à mesure le rend confus. En effet, sauf pour les aspects relat Leggi tutto

I have to say that I am not as particularly intrigued by this book as her pevious work, "Crossing to Avalon," which I read years ago and was ready to jump on a plane and follow her path. There are mistakes in this book which are glaring, such as referring to FGM as FMG, not once but twice. This is n Leggi tutto

I enjoyed this book but found that my copy had a lot of spelling and grammatical errors. I'm very pedantic when it comes to grammar, so that annoyed me and sometimes made it hard to concentrate - especially where the errors were consistent. Otherwise, the book itself was interesting. I liked the com Leggi tutto
