Description
Why do so many women now feel so conflicted about their roles, so cut off from sources of spiritual nourishment in their lives? More importantly, what can they do about it? In The Way of Woman, Helen M. Luke has brought six decades of experience to bear in answering these two questions, drawing on a rich trove of feminine images and symbols from the Bible, mythology, folklore, Greek tragedies, and modern poetry to guide women on a path to the lasting personal fulfillment that can only come through understanding one's essential feminine nature.
