This book describes contemporary woman's search for wholeness in a society in which she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing upon cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture today.

A nine state process that entails at first rejecting feminine values, making it in the man's work, experiencing spiritual death, and finally turning inward.
