Publisher's Summary

What does it mean to be a woman? What is the pathway to mature femininity? And what of the masculine components of a woman's personality? Robert A. Johnson explores these questions in this new edition of She, updated to reflect the growth of his thinking on these subjects.

Many writers and scholars have long considered that the ancient myth of Amor and Psyche is really the story of a woman's task of becoming whole, complete, and individuated. Here, examining this ancient story in depth and lightening up the details, Johnson has produced an arresting and perceptive exploration of what it means to become a woman. You will not listen to this book without understanding the important women in your life and a good deal more about yourself as a woman.

Must-Read for the Modern Seeker

Oh, what would our world be like, with humanities severed psyche splashed onto the outer world with its dramas and fragmented confusions, if people could read a book like “She” (and its partner book “He”) and understand the struggles of the human soul?

Every woman should read this to know the reality of the trials she faces (men, you can learn about your women through this, too!), and to know the mythological significance of her own unfoldment.

I have lived a little over half the life described in the story of Psyche contending with Aphrodite, and what an amazing thing to have it mirrored in exactitude by this myth. How relieving to know my dynamics with men, bouts of suicidal thoughts and loss of energy are all apart of the individuating feminine psyche. I have that much more clarity about the phases I am in and how to embrace them with courage and trust that I am on my way to Persephone’s final test.

Do not hesitate to enjoy the short yet profound read. And please – pass it on.
