This book describes contemporary woman's search for wholeness in a society in which she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing upon cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture today.
A nine state process that entails at first rejecting feminine values, making it in the man's work, experiencing spiritual death, and finally turning inward.

The heroine's journey
This book at its best was a disappointment, and at its worst was literally offensive.
THIS IS NOT a female-oriented companion to Joseph Campbell's study of the Hero's Journey/Monomyth. First, you need to know that if you are looking for a study of narrative structure, you will be just as disappointed as I was, and will find very little of value for your writing or analysis.
Second, know that this is a feminist self-help book written in 1990, and is rife with dated, unbalanced views of feminism clothed in new-age mysticism. Some segments draw interesting parallels to mythology, however the bulk of the text is drawn from the author's own anecdotes with a dramatic flare.
I respect that there are women out there who will find this text helpful or even healing, but I myself was frustrated with Murdock's theories and anecdotes, and a touch disgusted by the broad generalizations she makes regarding women's motives, choices, and experiences.
