Death and the Maiden: Living Feminine Transitions Through Fairy Tales: Living Feminine Transitions Through Fairy Tales (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781480042452)

This fascinating and elegantly written book re-tells and masterfully interprets seven intriguing fairytales from six different cultures of the world. Its author brings home to us in the most startling ways the vital inner truths of the human personality revealed in these ancient stories. Jan Perkins challenges us to embrace the rich, profound, and intelligent feminine dimension of the human psyche, one that neither requires women to become imitation men, nor men to retreat to effeminacy. These tales prove to be the stories of our own lives, bringing us wisdom, insight, and spiritual nourishment as well as an understanding of how transforming and invigorating the prototypical feminine can be. Once Lady Life is liberated from being a sex-object for men, awakens from her enthrallment to become an equal partner with the masculine, together they may revolutionize the way both men and women live, work, and relate to each other.
