Product Description
Product Description
The renowned analyst and author here provides deep insight into the process required to bring feminize wisdom to consciousness in a patriarchal culture—as struggle in which many women are more fully engaged today that ever before. Presenting the personal journeys of three wise women as maps, she points the way to the state of inner wholeness and balance she calls "conscious femininity."

Excellent book,
This review is from: Leaving My Father's House: A Journey to Conscious Femininity (Hardcover)
This book is profoundly interesting, Woodman delves deeply into the process of feminine individuation making use of the fairy tale "Allerleirauh" which she then explores through three case studies of women who tell their story themselves.
Essential reading to all women who are seeking healing and wholeness. I found each story, which explores different stages of healing and ages of the woman, supportive and helpful. I recommend it to anyone seeking deep growth in themselves and to therapists/healers. I'm a big fan of Marion Woodman's work. And also recommend Dancing in the Flames.

An honest and heartfelt look at woman's path.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Leaving My Father's House: A Journey to Conscious Femininity (Paperback)
With this book, Marion Woodman guides us through a complex and difficult journey. Her work with women through the often painful and lonely process of coming into their own life is shared with wisdom, compassion and deep love. I have found this book to be fundamental to my growth and my process. The women who shared their stories have enriched my life and have helped guide me on my way. I've given this book as a gift to many women friends, and I feel it can be a helpful and useful tool for anyone embarking on the inner journey.

Required Reading For Women (& Men),
By R. A. Piccione "RAP" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Leaving My Father's House: A Journey to Conscious Femininity (Paperback)
If life had a reading list, this book would certainly be on it. Woodman does a supreme job of linking the women's narratives -- clarifying and filling in their experiences in archtypical and Jungian terms -- without dimming the spotlight on their individual experiences. How long will we live our lives unwhole and blaming others (or even ourselves!) for our unhappiness? Until we all read this book and others like it, I'd guess. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful:

wow,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Leaving My Father's House: A Journey to Conscious Femininity (Paperback)
In middle age,life can seem to drag to a halt. Marion Woodman and her coauthors demonstrate that the richest part of inner work is possible when we no longer are focusing most of our energy on the outer world of our families,or our careers. the stories these women tell of their own dream journeys are almost beyond belief, and inspired me to resume dream work i abandoned years ago. the journey never ends, and Leaving My Father's House begins a whole new ring on the spiral to wholeness. my only complaint is that at times the book felt too wordy.
