Review # 1 was written on 2009-12-29 00:00:00 Klaus Anderson Amazing, outrageous, scandalous, hair-raising!! Well, no disrespect meant to the great C.G. Jung. But this book shows how much he was a man of his time (Victorian) and how weary we should be of the term 'feminine', because if we take this book seriously, we should all go back to Kinder, Kuche, Kirche... which makes me seriously re-think how we came up with our ideas on feminine and masculine! Anyway, it gave me some great shocking quotes for my paper on women and patriarchy :-)

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-01 00:00:00 Linda Tatum Jung was very advanced in his thinking and work in psychology. This book gets into some areas that are dated and lend themselves to some great conversations/study around the metamorphosis of the meaning of "feminine." It's a very new world we live in. The book dives into the deep end with "The Worship of Women and the Worship of the Soul." I absolutely LOVE how Jung brings Dante's 'Divine Comedy' into the mix. A brilliant way to illuminate how Dante's culminating point of psychic development happens in the prayer of St. Bernard. Jung's ability to blend Dante's works from 1265-1321 with his (Jung) own works color a great picture of the points he is making. Jung lived from 1875-1961 and here we are in 2012 looking at what "feminine" means today. Very interesting. "Marriage as a Psychological Relationship." "Psychological Aspects of the Mother Archetype." It is really insightful to have a vintage look at things. This particular book is nice translation of a part of Jung's work and is a really readable size for folks just getting into Jung and/or a vintage perspectives on "femininity."
