Product Description

From the Author

A comment on the talk that became this audiotape
This was an extemporaneous lecture that I enjoyed giving as part of the University of California Extension's "Women's Lives" symposium, an annual day-long event in San Francisco. I told stories and used myths to describe the crone or wise-woman phase of our lives. The task (and the pleasure) is to be "a green & juicy crone", an authentic, creative woman, with wisdom that has been acquired through experience. This has been a pass-along and share audiotape, one that many women have thanked me for, and an introduction to what I have to say on the subject. I am now writing about Goddesses in Older Women, about the archetypes in women over fifty, which will be published by HarperCollins.

4.0 out of 5 stars Permission to be proud of women's wisdom., 8 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Jean Shinoda Bolen has a way of writing and speaking that gives a woman permission to be proud; not of her material achievements or status but simply that she is a woman, and in this case an older woman.

As in Goddesses In Everywoman she draws heavily on myth and stories to illustrate her argument that being a woman, particularly a menopausal woman can be a sacred experience and a rite of passage into a new level of creativity, wisdom and self-awareness.

Any woman who wants to look beyond the usual physical symptoms and solutions offerings on the menopause and aging should listen to this tape. What Jean Shinoda Bolen does is confirm with the authority of knowledge and experience what we already intuitively know. That not having to expend energy on maintaining the uterus we can be creative in other areas. Having descended into the darkness many times and ascended again we can claim to be wise women, and in that wisdom is included that we know we need time for ourselves, our reflections and to prepare for our next rite of passage.
