El Camino de la Reina - by Stacey Simmons (Paperback)

About the Book

A fascinating analysis of the divided woman, the key to understanding why women cannot undertake the hero's journey. Every woman struggles with being a divided self--whether she is a stay-at-home mother or a high-level corporate executive. In this book, psychotherapist Stacey Simmons explores the paths imposed on women to their own detriment from a very early age. Through examples drawn from fairy tales, stories, films, television series, musicals, and the life experiences of her patients, Dr. Simmons reveals an ancestral pattern that has remained both hidden and evident for millennia--what she calls "the Queen's Path." In this book, she explains how this pattern has been used against women throughout history, and how women can harness it to their advantage to overcome obstacles and become the queens of their own lives. Personal sovereignty--the ability to claim and ultimately direct our own lives--is the aspiration of every human being. There is a path to sovereignty for any woman who wishes to attain it: she must simply walk the Queen's Path in her glass slippers. The Queen's Path is a unique combination of guidebook and illustrative map that helps make sense of the female experience.
