‘The genius of Wise Women – and the reason it can be put to such practical and uplifting use in the lives of eldering women – is that the stories are partnered by illuminating essays of symbolic psychoanalysis: maps to personal life application that Jungians can generate for our culture, which has lost the ancient skills of dream, myth and folktale interpretation. Wise Women has a radically transformative agenda: to reawaken powerful elder female archetypes buried in our unconscious minds; to redress the imbalance created by millennia of patriarchy, by bringing elder women into their agency as wise leaders.’
