Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In a personal account of her own journey through menopause, Downing, past president of the American Academy of Religion, combines religious studies with psychology to "understand menopause as soul-event . . . regarding its symptoms as symbols." Her "hunger for a more symbolic connection to these mysteries of feminine life" led her initially to explore her dreams. Finally, at the end of a low-budget journey around the world that served as a metaphor for her own rite of passage, she rediscovered Hestia, goddess of hearth and home, whom she describes as "a soul-guide." Downing's experiences and reflections may illuminate the experience of menopause for other women, but the religious framework of the book will limit its appeal. For feminist collections. Cynthia Widmer, Williamstown, Mass.
