Review # 1 was written on 2020-11-14 00:00:00 Mary Johnson This is a book that I will benefit from reading multiple times. Loomis not only gives the clearest explanation of the Jungian concept of the father's daughter, but makes an original contribution to the field. While the book was written in the early 90's, much of what she writes about is just now coming to pass. I finished the book feeling intellectually challenged and passionately inspired.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-03-09 00:00:00 Allen Probert A book with many subjects centered on one figure, Helen of Troy. The footnotes should be read as they add immensely to one's knowledge regarding the interconnectedness of philosophy, cultural development, history, mythology, religion and misogyny. The author argues that Helen, whether a historical figure or not, was a symbol of all women. As an image she stands in for that which men desire most, power. One must also consider the book a bit of literary criticism because it analyzes, in ways, various Greek plays and stories.
