This classic work on feminine psychology explores the notion that in order to be fully creative woman must work towards her own "wholeness" and come to terms not only with her biological role but also with the masculine qualities in her nature. Dr Harding believed that woman must work towards encouraging and restoring those "feeling" and intuitive truths which our culture has for so long neglected and without which the many ways in which woman relates to the world are flawed or diminished.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wow... very impressive and readable! Could have been written yesterday.,
By
This review is from: Way of All Women (C. G. Jung Foundation Books) (Paperback)
When I received this book, I was amazed. As I said in my title above, it could have been written yesterday. This author writes clearly, concisely and brilliantly about the complexities of the the interior life of women including their relationship to their various life roles i.e. friend, lover, marriage partner, etc.
This book offers an in-depth and insightful model of feminine psychology. It is particulary good at explaining anima and animus dynamics and would be a great read for men trying to understand different types of women. It will also serve as an excellent model for a woman doing her own inner work. I work in the psychology field and I'm very picky about books in this genre. I have absolutely no reservations about giving this book my highest recommendation.
