Description ▲
Ships same day! This is a book that will reveal to many women some fundamental and probably painful truths about themselves. The central theme is that some women, often the brightest, "best" at school, and from the more affluent homes, suffer from a "Cinderella complex". This is, as the name implies, the desire to be rescued by a "prince": to be whisked away from the frightening realities of living as an authentic adult. This phenomenon is the reason why so many seemingly independent women "lapse" into stereotypical roles.
It is clear this book has been thoroughly researched. This book is a well-written discussion of a psychological complex and is a feminist classic. If you are always picking the wrong kind of guy, this book is for you. It points out the kind of predators out there and mistakes in your ways of choosing a guy. We ship instantly.
