Jung's Circle of Women: The Valkyries

by Maggy Anthony

Book Overview

Rare Opportunity

It isn't often that an author is given the opportunity to review her own book. So I thought I would seize it! I actually hadn't re-read my book since the publication almost ten years ago. In the re-reading, I find I wouldn't really change a thing. And since the publication, I have finally felt vindicated in the writing of it by the fact that no other has been written on the subject, and that it is used as a reference in any book on Jung or the women, written since that time. I often wonder what the folks who tried to discourage me from writing it, and even went so far as to make it impossible for me to talk to some of the Jungian women surviving at the time of the writing, are feeling about it now. Of course, because of the age of many I talked to, most are now deceased. Anyway, for those interested in Jung's dynamic with women, and the lives of the women in his circle during that era, this still seems to be the only reference. I hope readers continue to enjoy it, and writers continue to find it a source of information .
