Empowering, enlightening and clarifying, this book is a magnificent exploration of the different faces and aspects of being a woman.

Ms Davis has created a lovely system of classification (archetyping) of the phases of woman.  For each of the thirteen archetypes, the author shares wisdoms and insight, making one proud to be within their own classification and able to draw empowerment from who and what they are.  The plentiful personal accounts given within the text add an air of community and camaraderie to the experience of reading this book and weaves a gentle web of sisterhood between the readers, the authors and those who shared their stories within its pages.

A brilliant life-map for the Pagan and non-Pagan woman alike, this should be required women for all females.
