I read this as part of Our Shared Shelf, and while 580 pages seemed daunting, I'm glad I read it. It takes a bit of time to get used to her style, and it's worth noting that she repeats herself a lot. The stories are interesting and her analysis is based on Jungian philosophy, so it's also good to make up your own mind.
one of the most life-changing book I have ever read. every woman should read this book. take your time with it - let it sink in. and you will be changed.
So, I know the writing is occasionally annoying and repetitive, and I know the psychoanalytical assertions are made without evidence -- but the themes of the book still speak to me like crazy, and I find her insights and conclusions beautiful. I'm happy to file this in the treat-as-my-new-Bible section and not in my psychology section; it won't change my inclination to reflect often on the archetypes and the advice they may hold. Plus, my wolfdog is a fan, so really can't argue.

this book is very transparent in being directed towards women in the process of getting in touch with themselves & primarily those that came of age in the 1960s/1970s. it is equally clear that the audience is middle class women & i would argue largely white women with access to these opportunities & choices (especially in the 60s and 70s).
i am happy that it seems a lot of women found this helpful & meaningful, but as a woman coming of age in the 2010s and 2020s this is not for me. i would argue that there are far more inclusive & generally stronger feminist texts now available in 2021.
