#8 - The Goddess Re-Awakening compiled by Shirley Nicholson
On the whole, I really enjoyed this book. It is a series of articles on Feminism and the Feminine Principle. While some of them (particularly the one about how great Jung was) wanted to make me tear my hair out, I found that most were really interesting, even if I didn't always agree with the conclusions of the authors.
My favorites, I think, were the ones that dealt with religion ... the pagan articles were at the front (more or less), but towards the end were some articles that dealt with the Divine Feminine in more traditional religions, such as Chrisitanity and Judaism. I definitely recommend it ... and if Jungian theories don't jive with you, skip over 'Is the Animus Obsolete' ... I kind of wish I had ~_^
