Isbn: 9780874777321 - Motherline: Every Woman's Journey to Find Her Female Roots (12 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. 'The Motherline' takes the perspective of the mother who is always also a daughter. It is a book for women who have mothers, are mothers, or are considering becoming mothers, and for the men who love them. Telling the stories of women whose maturation has been experienced in the cycle of mothering, it urges a view of the psyche of women that does not sever mother from daughter, feminism from the feminine, body from soul. It argues that the path to wholeness requires us to reclaim aspects of the feminine self that we have lost or forgotten in our struggle to free ourselves from constricting roles. It describes a woman's journey to find her roots in the personal, cultural, and archetypal Motherline. Our mothers are the first world we know, the source of our lives and our stories. Embodying the mysteries of origin, they tie us to the great web of kin and generation. Yet the voice of their experience is seldom heard. We have no cultural mirror in which to envision the fullness of female development; we are deprived of images of female wisdom and maturity. Finding our female roots, reclaiming our feminine souls, requires us to pay attention to our real mothers' lives and experience. Listening to our mothers' stories is the beginning of understanding our own. Naomi Ruth Lowinsky is the author of 'The Sister from Below: When the Muse Gets Her Way' and 'The Motherline: Every Woman's Journey to Find Her Female Roots' and numerous prose essays, many of which have been published in 'Psychological Perspectives' and 'The Jung Journal'.

Naomi is a Jungian analyst in private practice, poetry and fiction editor of 'Psychological Perspectives', and a grandmother many times over.…
