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. 606 $aWomen$xPsychology 606 $aPsyche (Greek deity) 615 0$aWomen$xPsychology. 615 0$aPsyche (Greek deity) 676 $a305.4 700 $aHuber$b Barbara Weir$f1943-$01627533 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825145003321 996 $aTransforming psyche$93964172 997 $aUNINA
