Women whose mothers were not called upon to achieve in a man's
world have a difficult time seeing themselves as powerful enough to
do that. Identifying with mighty women of the past and of the
present culture can help them to permit themselves to achieve more
than their mothers did. This book provides several such myths from
ancient and modern cultures, from both Western and Eastern
traditions, each of which is a standard for a particular aspect of
female power and all of which can provide that power for women now.
Among the aspects of women's power are Super Girl, Warrior Woman,
Evil Temptress, Protective Mother and Provider. This book is useful
for therapists to read themselves and/or to give to their patients
when they suffer from fantasies of the bad mother who does not want
to be surpassed or the weak mother who cannot protect, or the
therapist who wants to keep the woman patient in a weak and needy
position.
