Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Given women's history for the past 5,000 years, it's not surprising that just about every woman I've ever met, myself included, has to deal with and work through how to balance serving others versus finding self-fulfillment. This book has a great deal to offer women and I highly recommend it."                
--Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

"Slaying the Mermaid is in effect an active, thinking women's guide to mental health and right living."        
--Women's Review of Books
