Bolen believes that an understanding of these inner pat terns and their interrelationships offers reassuring, true-to-life alternatives that take women far beyond such restrictive dichotomies as masculine/feminine, mother/lover, careerist/housewife. And she demonstrates in this book how understanding the m can provide the key to self-knowledge and wholeness." ; flyleaf corner-clipped, else G. N° de ref. del artículo 5487
