    In a society that values celebrity, youth and beauty, it is refreshing to read about powerful patterns of wisdom gained by living which can foster transformative action for the woman and for society at large.

    Jean Bolen describes the various patterns, their strengths and pitfalls and invites older women to join circles of “crones” for mutual support and to actuate the changes.

    This is a good read for ageing women in our youth oriented society. Whether you “believe” in the idea of Goddess archetypes or not. The author dicusses various aspects which come into stronger focus as we age, and encourages women to be aware of them. The idea is to foster strengthening those aspects which are helpful, and to be aware of any negative attributes of an archetype, in order to overcome them. I found this book to be very nurturing, for its fresh perspective on the great things about ageing. Kate Boswell MFT

    Sometimes we carry the burden of getting older as a curse. This book will help women over 50 rediscover the greatness within.

    I have read earlier works by Shinoda Bolen and found them both informative and easy to absorb. This book is the same, expanding on her earlier work (Goddesses in Everywoman). I recommend this to anyone interested in Goddess work, Jungian archetypes, history / mythology, basic psychology or anyone just looking for an interesting and new-ish approach to women.

    thoughtful and provoking — an academic description that gets a little detailed for the casual reader. Still, highly recommend to those who are studying Dr. Bolen’s messages re. spiritual quests and journeys.
