Description
"'Snorkelling the Abyss' explores the two worlds of one woman and the apparently unnavigable void between them. With searing honesty, Jan Jordan shows how she fought to free herself from an inner culture of self-loathing and the external culture of her childhood that repressed 'feelings' and ignored psychic pain - including changing her name from Janet Robinson. Only then could she work towards transforming the rape culture of Aotearoa. This is a powerful story about the importance of connection and speaking out."--
