The Wise-Woman Archetype

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.
