On my way up from Eden

the long version

Who is woman? Whether overrated as a goddess or underrated as Adam's extraneous rib, she has rarely been fully understood. The handy pigeonholes no longer fit, yet woman is often as confused as man over her emerging self. She is still learning to intelligently use her ever-increasing options. Kathryn Lindskoog has written a personal and perceptive book for men and women alike, breaking down old and new myths and reexamining some of the shibboleths that have denied us all our full humanity. - Back cover.
