The Myth of the Maiden

On Being a Woman

by Joan E. Childs

Published by Health Communications, Inc.

Joan E. Childs' fascinating look at the evolution of women from helpless maidens to powerful individuals follows her own soulful metamorphosis. Her journey begins in the 1950s when she came of age. Like many women of her time, she believed in the Myth of the Maiden. Despite professional success and motherhood, she faced several failed marriages and other difficulties which made her realize there was no "happily ever after."

Childs' examination into what went wrong in her life -- why it didn't live up to all those expectations she had growing up -- led her down the path of self-discovery. Through the events of her life -- including encounters with Sammy Davis Jr. and Elvis Presley -- and the lives of women she treated in therapy, she developed a new multifaceted definition of what it means to be a woman.

Childs takes her personal experiences and shapes them into a tale of heroic struggle and glorious triumph that will show women of all ages how to transform their own lives. This compelling story shows why the maiden is a myth, and gives women new models and stories to use as guides for living a life of accomplishment and fulfillment.
