A lucid analysis on the remarkable group of women who influenced and were influenced by this genius.
C. G. Jung opened up a whole new world exploring the psychology of individuation. Among his most ardent followers were a group of women who came to him to be healed, and who worked closely with his ideas. These women had the courage to explore both the need for a spiritual link with a man like Jung, and their own deepest feminine roots. For this book, Maggy Anthony interviewed people close to these women and respectfully shares their stories with readers on a similar path.
Exploring the repression of the Dionysian spirit, this book examines its relationship with the rise of patriarchy over two millennia. It highlights the historical connections between Dionysus and women, using examples from various cultures and the author's personal experiences to illustrate how these themes have evolved. The work delves into the cultural implications of this repression, offering a unique perspective on gender and spirituality.
