It speakes to all women of any age range and there is something in it for every women to relate to. I gave one copy to a women who had a recent death in her family and she said that it was a great comfort to her.

Women's need for meaning through ritual different then mens'

A facinating read. Really sheds some light on the importance of ritual in enriching womens' lives in this time of 'non-ritual' community living. A deep and interesting exploration by an excellent story teller. I recommend.
