Goddesses in everywoman

Book • 1984
In this book, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen introduces seven archetypal goddesses from Greek mythology as a way to understand and describe various behavior patterns and personality traits in women.

These goddesses are categorized into three groups: the 'virgin goddesses' (Artemis, Athena, and Hestia), the 'vulnerable goddesses' (Hera, Demeter, and Persephone), and the 'alchemical' or transformative goddess (Aphrodite).

Bolen explains how these archetypes influence women's lives, including their relationships, career aspirations, and personal growth.

The book aims to help women identify and cultivate these archetypes to achieve greater self-esteem, creativity, and happiness, and to become better 'heroines' in their own life stories.
