Synopsis

Natalie says, "this book is written to give women courage and support to be full persons in our society and what is personal is political....also to give sanction to men and women to be honest and open about their struggles. Communication begins by revealing oneself. I have revealed much of myself in the hope that it will stimulate new thought and action; new channels to reach out to each other. Carl Rogers, author of On Becoming a Person said, "My daughter has written a personal, sensitive and moving book about her own journey to womanhood. ...it confirms what I have long believed: what is most personal is universal." Self published in 1980, this has become a feminist classic having been published in French, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese. It became an underground book handed from one woman to another. The chapter titles: "The Right To Be Me, "Uprooting and Rerooting: A Transition,"Solo, A Midlife Choice," "On Love, Loving and Lovers," and "Opening,"The Impact of Women On My Life." This book is still extremely relevant for the 21st century.

About this title

Review

My daughter has written a personal, sensitive and moving book about her own journey as a woman . . . To learn from understanding our own experience is a difficult task indeed, and to share it through writing and expressive art is courageous. This book confirms what I have long believed: what is most personal is most general. --Carl Rogers

[Emerging Woman is] at times compelling, provocative, even electrifying in its boldness, directness, honesty . . . it will challenge women and men . . . to examine their own attitudes. --Clark E. Moustakas, author of Loneliness and Love
