Features: Reasons to read this book: She believed that the essence of men is material, stability, and decisiveness, while the essence of women is "unpredictability in reality, close connection with nature, intuition, and chaos." She advocated for the need to establish a "balance" between men and women and dedicated herself to bringing this "balance" into families, communities, society, and "back to ourselves." A common saying of hers is, "We are on a dual journey": the "inner journey" is to overcome the inner self, and the "outer journey" is to overcome the "patterns that bind us." Target audience for this book: Scholars or enthusiasts of American cultural history, scholars or enthusiasts of "Hollywood Legends," advocates or opponents of the feminist movement or new feminism, scholars or enthusiasts of Western film history, working women, and male and female students.
