In contrast to the portrayal of Psyche as indecisive and amorphous, Huber emphasizes those aspects of the tale that describe Psyche's connectedness - to her sisters, her own sexuality, her earth-bound experience and, ultimately, to the birthing of her child. Using the works of such writers as Emily Carr, Margaret Laurence, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf, Huber demonstrates that feminist theory and women's autobiography mirror the insights uncovered in her retelling of the Psyche story.WomenPsychologyPsyche (Greek deity)WomenPsychology.Psyche (Greek deity)305.4Huber Barbara Weir1943-1627533MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825145003321Transforming psyche3964172UNINA
