Written to empower women, this text offers advice on finding ways to creatively heal oppression and pain, and to grow in stength and wisdom. It contains exercises for healing, growth and psychic development, designed to deepen self-knowledge. The book asserts that for humanity to survive, women must come to know their power. It argues that the reader must reclaim those traits which have been traditionally labelled feminine and make them the province of all humanity. As human beings we must uncover the true power and so empower ourselves and all people.
