Reinventing Eve : Modern Woman in Search of Herself

Rating:
Summary: inspiring and relevant
Review: While I largely agree with the Publisher's Weekly review, I did not find Chernin's writings loosley structured. This book moved logically through the author's journey to find the missing links that connect women to the diety in whose image they are created. She kept her explorations balanced with the solid theories of Freud and Jung while delving into areas many traditionalists might shudder to think of. (And as a long-time frowner upon p...-envy theories, I am happy to see a legitimate alternative appear.) If nothing else, this book inspires the reader to question the traditional creation stories and lays the foundation for women to reclaim their power in the world.
