This poetic polemic seeks to galvanize the still-untapped power of women coming together to change the world. Jungian archetypal analysis, sociological studies, and recent biological studies of the sexes all contribute to Bolen’s argument that women as a gender have a wisdom that is needed in the world. She senses a call from the Sacred Feminine to bring itself into consciousness and culture - a gender balance that has the power to end patriarchy - and make peace possible.
