The activation of the feminine principle has recovered for us the lost image of soul and is reconnecting us to our instincts and liberating our creative imagination. It is effecting a profound alchemy beneath the surface of the culture. Women and men are both participating in a process of transformation which is bringing into being a new cultural focus, one whose emphasis is no longer on power and control but on a greater awareness of the INTERWEAVING OF ALL ASPECTS OF LIFE.

—Anne Baring, from The Dream of the Cosmos
