About
Activism for the Modern Day Artemis.
From the author dubbed "an Artemis," by Gloria Steinem, comes Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman, a book dedicated to women with the courage and passion to change the world.
Myths come to life. Worshiped in Ancient Greece as a protectress of young girls, Artemis was the goddess of hunting, nature, and chastity-the original "wild woman." In Artemis, Jungian analyst and best-selling author, Jean Shinoda Bolen, revives the goddess Artemis to reclaim the female passion and persistence to survive and succeed.
We are all goddesses. But an indomitable spirit isn't just reserved for the gods. In her book, Dr. Bolen revives the myth of Atalanta, an archetypal Artemis and mere mortal. To Atalanta, fate was no obstacle. Left to die because she was born a girl, she faces the Calydon Boar and outruns any man attempting to claim her as his wife. In Artemis, women are encouraged to discover their inner heroine-the activist who never gives up, who cannot be subdued.
Artemis today. Face it: women can't be tamed. Whether women's rights activists or Princess Merida from Brave, the Artemis personality is embodied in the modern women. Artemis is dedicated to all women and girls who discover her unconquerable spirit in themselves or others. Inside find:
Examples of Artemis in real-life and popular culture.
Ancient and modern ways to be your authentic self.
A source of strength, power, and integrity.
If you enjoyed the books Women Who Run with the Wolves, Wild Mercy, or Goddesses in Everywoman, you'll love Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman.

"Artemis is emerging in the popular culture as a new source of strength, power and integrity. She is the protector of life, the activist who never gives up, the idealistic heroine who cannot be subdued. In this beautiful, inspiring book, Bolen shows how a woman can draw upon her courage and her passion to change the world."

Within these pages you'll find many images and stories that will le

"Once again Jean Shinoda Bolen inspires us with her magical ability to connect our daily behaviors and realities with archetypal stories and patterns. Like Goddess in Every Woman, I couldn't stop reading Artemis. It left me with a much deeper understanding of what women face around the world, as well as food for thought to reflect upon the daily realities of female empowerment. I couldn't recommen
