Abstract: 'For the first time, an author reveals the hero's quest for the Feminine in the classics of Western literature....traces the paths of ten male characters in search of wholeness. Men have been victims as much as proponents of the patriarchy...and our obsession with male-dominated values has blinded both men and women to the Goddess symbology in our literature.'
