From fictional characters like Bridget Jones to feminist icons
like Gloria Steinem, Jean Bolen's bestselling classic "Goddesses in
Everywoman" has been widely read and soundly praised.
Now comes a new book written in the same spirit and with the
same vitality. In "Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman,"
Bolen invites women and girls to discover the tenacity and courage
of the Artemis archetype and how it can be tapped to live
authentically.
To tell the story, Bolen delves deeply into the myth of
Atalanta, the famous hunter and runner in ancient Greek mythology,
a mortal woman who is identified with Artemis the Greek Goddess of
the Hunt and Moon. Atalanta began life abandoned and left to die
because she was born a girl. She faced the Calydon Boar and drew
first blood; she was the runner who would demand to be beaten in a
footrace by the man who could claim her as his bride. She
exemplifies the indomitable spirit in competent, courageous girls
and in the women they become. This is grit, the passion and
persistence to go the distance, to survive, and to succeed.
She includes many real-life stories as well as mythological and
fictional examples of women who are similar to Atalanta, including
among others Princess Merida from the animated film "Brave" and
Katniss from "The Hunger Games." Artemis and Atalanta are the means
through which readers can navigate their own personal exploration
to become their authentic selves. Bolen dedicates this book to
women and girls who embody the archetype of Artemis, who discover
her uncrushable spirit in themselves or others.
