In Search of the Woman Warrior: Four Mythical Archetypes for Modern Women

This work presents the many Woman Warrior figures throughout history & literature, from ancient to modern times, with examples of contemporary & mythical Women Warriors, from Athena to Guinevere, Wonder Woman to Xena, & Florence Nightingale to Amelia Earhart to Gloria Steinem. More than a comprehensive survey of Women Warriors, the book creates a typology of warriors that shows how strong women have viewed themselves through the ages & allows modern readers to realize their own potential. These realizations will reveal clues about handling conflicts with the same or opposite sex at home, in relationships & in the workplace. "Marvelous, scholarly, & insightful."
