Myths of the Mighty Women edited by Arlene Kramer Richards and Lucille Spira

$40.00

It is the premise of our book that the Oedipus myths which was all-important to Freudian analysts in the twentieth century is only one among many myths that can embody the unconscious fantasies that shape women’s hearts, minds and behavior. We explore aspects of these ancient mythical, biblical and folk stories that have implications for contemporary women’s lives and treatment.
