This book is an invaluable key to self-understanding. Using
examples from her own life and the lives of her clients, as well as
from dreams, fairy tales, myths, films, and literature, Linda
Schierse Leonard, a Jungian analyst, exposes the wound of the
spirit that both men and women of our culture bear--a wound that is
grounded in a poor relationship between masculine and feminine
principles.
Leonard speculates that when a father is wounded in his own
psychological development, he is not able to give his daughter the
care and guidance she needs. Inheriting this wound, she may find
that her ability to express herself professionally, intellectually,
sexually, and socially is impaired. On a broader scale, Leonard
discusses how women compensate for cultural devaluation, resorting
to passive submission ("the Eternal Girl"), or a defensive
imitation of the masculine ("the Armored Amazon").
"The Wounded Woman" shows that by understanding the father-daughter
wound and working to transform it psychologically, it is possible
to achieve a fruitful, caring relationship between men and women,
between fathers and daughters, a relationship that honors both the
mutuality and the uniqueness of the sexes.
