A Great Book

The book challenges many male conceptions. I love his quote of Creon, "Go then, and share your love among the dead, We'll have no woman's law here, while I live." This in response to Antigon's, "My way is to share my love, not share my hate."The book is helpful in understanding the male/female situation (in as much as it can possibly be understood!).

An exceptionally good book

There are so many great quotes in the book, here is one of many, "Be it a domestic quarrel or an international incident, the subject is often that of price. It is a flaw in a man--fatal unless he wakens to it--that he carefully arranges life so that the feminine will pay the price for his masculine creation." (p 44).Very much worth reading if you feel that maybe there has been/is an imbalance of justice regarding men and women.

Lost we may be

I enjoyed Robert A. Johnsons book on the subject of psychological femininity. I believe he makes a good point in the beginning that this does not apply to females only. I am inclinded, somewhat to believe that it implies more to males than females. Using archetypal myths of Oedipus and the Hindu story of Damayanti, exploring both their contexts and how it relates to the psyche, feminine. Not overly stimulating, however makes adequate use of psychology and mythology 'ala Campbell and Jung.
