Synopsis
The Heroine’s Journey describes contemporary woman’s search for wholeness in a society where she has been defined according to masculine values. Drawing on cultural myths and fairy tales, ancient symbols and goddesses, and the dreams of contemporary women, Murdock illustrates the need for—and the reality of—feminine values in Western culture. This special anniversary edition, with a new foreword by Christine Downing and preface by the author, illuminates that this need is just as relevant today as it was when the book was originally published thirty years ago.

About the Author
Maureen Murdock, Ph.D., is the author of The Heroine's Journey: Woman's Quest for Wholeness, which explores the rich territory of the feminine psyche and delineates the psycho-spiritual journey for women. It was her response to Joseph Campbell's A Hero with a Thousand Faces when he said to her, "Women don't need to make the journey. In the whole mythological tradition the woman is there." The publication of The Heroine's Journey touched a nerve in women's consciousness around the world. It was quickly translated into French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Yugoslavian, Italian and Korean and Farsi. It has been used by screenwriters and novelists alike as a model of the woman's journey. Murdock's subsequent book, The Hero's Daughter, emerged out of the response to The Heroine's Journey by women who wrote to her about their own experiences as "father's daughters." It was first published by Ballantine and later issued in paperback as Fathers' Daughters: Breaking the Ties that Bind. It has been translated into Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Korean, Hebrew, and Chinese. Murdock is also the author of Unreliable Truth: On Memoir and Memory; Spinning Inward: Using Guided Imagery with Children; The Heroine's Journey Workbook. Murdock was Chair and Core Faculty of the MA Counseling Psychology Program at Pacifica Graduate Institute and teaches memoir writing for both the UCLA Extension Writers Program and the International Women's Writing Guild.
