<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> In Jean Shinoda Bolen's best-selling, game-changing 'Goddesses in everywoman,' myths came to life in a whole new way that resonated with our own lives. Even fictional character Bridget Jones was reading that book. Now comes 'Artemis: the indomitable spirit in everywoman,' a groundbreaking new book that explores the archetype of the activist. Indomitable means untamed, unsubdued. It is the one-in-herself quality in girls and women who will not be victims, no matter what. To bring the Artemis archetype to life, Bolen delves deeply into the myth of Atalanta, the famous hunter and runner in ancient Greek mythology, a mortal woman who is identified with Artemis the Greek Goddess of the Hunt and Moo<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>Activism for the Modern Day Artemis</strong><p><strong>From the author dubbed "an Artemis," by Gloria Steinem, comes <em>Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman</em>, a book dedicated to women with the courage and passion to change the world.</strong></p><p><strong>Myths come to life.</strong> Worshiped in Ancient Greece as a protectress of young girls, Artemis was the goddess of hunting, nature, and chastity--the original "wild woman."

In her book, Dr. Bolen revives the myth of Atalanta, an archetypal Artemis and mere mortal. To Atalanta, fate was no obstacle. Left to die because she was born a girl, she faces the Calydon Boar and outruns any man attempting to claim her as his wife. In Artemis, women are encouraged to discover their inner heroine--the activist who never gives up, who cannot be subdued.</p><p><strong>Artemis today.</strong> Face it: women can't be tamed. Whether women's rights activists or Princess Merida from <em>Brave</em>, the Artemis personality is embodied in the modern women. Hailed by a modern-day Artemis, Isabel Allende, as a "beautiful, inspiring book," <em>Artemis</em> is dedicated to all women and girls who discover her unconquerable spirit in themselves or others.

She is the protector of life, the activist who never gives up, the idealistic heroine who cannot be subdued. In this beautiful, inspiring book, Bolen shows how a woman can draw upon her courage and her passion to change the world. ?Isabel Allende, author of House of the Spirits and most recently, Ripper-- "Reviews"<br><br>In the lineage of Joseph Campbell, Bolen weaves a powerful and vivid connection between ancient myth and our postmodern world. With her unique voice as a psychiatrist and her work inspired by her work in Jungian psychology, she gives us many models of perseverance in an age fought with challenges, especially for women and girls. Within these pages you'll find many images and stories that will lead you to the power of your own imagination. ?Justine Willis Toms, Cofounder, host New Dimensions Radio, author of Small Pleasures: Finding Grace in a Chaotic World-- "Reviews"<br><br>Once again Jean Shinoda Bolen inspires us with her magical ability to connect our daily behaviors and realities with archetypal stories and patterns. Like Goddess in Every Woman, I couldn't stop reading Artemis. It left me with a much deeper understanding of what women face around the world, as well as food for thought to reflect upon the daily realities of female empowerment. I couldn't recommend it more.
