The Journey of the Heroine. The Women's Path to Wholeness

Morin Murdoch's book has become a classic work on the inner life of women and their path in modern society, which is dominated by masculine values of competitiveness, emphasis on achievement, and demonstration of strength. Murdoch's years of research is a rethinking of the well-known «Hero with a Thousand Faces» by Joseph Campbell. 

Using myths and fairy tales, self-analysis, and client stories, the author describes the archetypal path of a woman, which represents a cycle of 10 stages: from separation from the feminine beginning (in search of recognition and approval) to the integration of both masculine and feminine beginnings within oneself. This is the path of the modern heroine from imposed values to true wholeness.
