Mythology expert, author, musician, and scholar Alanna Kaivalya presents a new paradigm that defines the feminine journey for the modern age and empowers women to transcend masculine conditions for success and flourish on their own terms
For centuries, women have fought for greater opportunity to make their own choices, build independent lives, craft powerful careers, and exercise their own agency. But has this been the wrong approach? Too often, women have forged paths by following the trajectory laid out by men and emulating what men identify as desirable. Could this be why many women remain unsatisfied and overwhelmed?
The Way of the Satisfied Woman offers an alternative path for women, and for anyone who cares to focus more on the feminine than the masculine. The path of the feminine is simply different — exquisite, unique, and integral. Through her extensive knowledge of world mythology, Alanna Kaivalya shows how embodying feminine energy sets us free, relaxes us, and allows us to more completely manifest the things that are most important to us, including connection, communion, and compassion.
Kaivalya covers:
• definitions of masculine and feminine energies in terms that embrace gender differences and affirm the experience of the modern woman
• prominent qualities of the feminine as represented by mythological archetypes and modern psychology
• the feminine journey toward satisfaction and how it is both unique and complementary to the well-defined masculine journey
• the relationship between masculine and feminine and its manifestations in intimate partnerships
• tools for redefining the feminine in modern language, ideas, and arenas, including career, family, success, community, and legacy
A necessary antidote to a culture that defines equality as “equal to what men have,” The Way of the Satisfied Woman is a call for reclaiming the extraordinary balance of the feminine way, in both the life of the individual and the wider world.
