Description
In the 30th Anniversary Edition of The Heroine’s Journey, Maureen Murdock offers possibilities for the role of the feminine within the familiar mythological framework of the hero’s journey. Murdock argues that women are not only central figures in their own stories, but that their heroic paths differ significantly from the original expeditions outlined by Joseph Campbell.
Relying on well-known mythological references as well as her own expertise as a psychologist, Murdock’s study of heroism takes each reader on an individual journey of introspection, self-acceptance, and healing.
