1.0 out of 5 stars
Outraged by the misleading title and poor accusations,
By A Customer
This review is from: I Ching for Today's Woman (Divination for Today's Woman) (Paperback)
No matter what the title says, this book is NOT about divination using I Ching. The author poorly uses the "idea" of hexagrams and named them however she chooses. Other than that, there is little or no relevance to the ancient book of Changes. The author also accuses I Ching to be sexist. As far as I know, I Ching itself is like code: when used for divination, the hexagrams are interpreted DEPENDING on the question asked. There is no way whatsoever that the book can be sexist. She also accused that the women in those days are broomstick holders. Eason should do a research prior to writing books like these. It insults herself, but not as much as the Book and the Chinese culture. This book should only be used as a fiction. If you want a book that follows the I Ching, don't use this one. This book did nothing to tell the reader that it is not based on I Ching. Nor can you find a biography of the author.
