Synopsis

In this revised second edition, Dr Jean Baker Miller expands on her reflections on women and their future in the world. In particular, she supplies a commentary on the developments and changes experienced by women in recent years. At the centre of her argument is the understanding that the qualities women possess in abundance - tenderness, co-operativeness, ability to nurture - have been consistently devalued by both women and men. In fact, these qualities are sources of enormous strength and must be used as such. Dr Miller goes on to specify the steps women can take to realize these assets and change their lives.
