Review
The Christiana Morgan who emerges from this book is a fascinating woman, profound, imaginative, bold, and experimental. Her story is illuminating and deeply sad. But Morgan was ultimately a rebel. . . . Even now she defies categorization: as a psychologist, as a lover, and perhaps even as a feminist symbol.

Douglas's combination of biographical and analytic investigation invites a rethinking of what constitutes the psychic factors of women's lives and the psychology of gifted women in particular. [This book] brings a much-needed challenge to the post-Jungian and post-Freudian worldview.

Review
Douglas's book is important in showing the kind of person who was drawn to this psychology and how it did and did not help such seekers in the furthering of their lives. It makes the human side of the effort to transform individual existence through immersion in the archetypes of the psyche poignantly evident.
