This is a highly original and provocative book about women's freedom and the need for an inner, female authority in a masculine-oriented society. Combining ancient texts and modern dreams, the author, a practising therapist, presents a way of feminine initiation. Inanna-Ishtar, Sumerian Goddess of Heaven and Earth, journeys into the underworld to Ereshkigal, her dark "sister," and returns. So modern women must descend from their old role — determined behavior into the depths of their instinct and image patterns, to find anew the Great Goddess and restore her values to modern culture.

In this intimate and revelatory history, Susannah Gibson delves into the lives of these pioneering women.
