Let's do this! --Lorraine Anderson, editor of Sisters of the Earth and Earth and Eros The world has long had the Hero's Journey as a model, but we women were excluded. All that is ended now with Mary Reynolds Thompson's rich and life-changing A Wild Soul Woman. Here, finally, is a guide for our journey.
