SynopsisIt is time to rediscover the rich and unexplored tradition of female heroism through the female mythical figures. We will find that although the archetypal patterns of male and female heroism are quite similar, they differ profoundly in detail and meaning according to gender. Without this understanding the journey in search of our internal identity is a lonely one, with no direction or purpose, muffled into silence. It often ends with the feelings that there must be something very wrong in ourselves. The first part of this book explains to the general reader the need for myths and the roles that heroes and heroines play and how their characters differ versus the individual who still clings to collective behaviour. The reader is encouraged to see the process of individuation that takes place in her role as heroine , or indeed where she may be stuck on her journey to find the Self . The second part of the book then goes on to examine some of the famous characters from our myths and the roles they play. If we are able to discern for ourselves what works for us in our lives today, we may see that we need to discard a behaviour that no longer serves us. We can then gift a new path to the generations of tomorrow, and help to free both them and us for a better future.
