The book begins by probing the "Divine Feminine" in Tibet's Gesar of Ling, one of the most fascinating myths of all time. Especially intriguing is the hero's seemingly continuous dependency on the feminine principle for guidance. The heroine in Kalidasa's Sanskrit drama, Sakuntala focuses on the obstacles set in Sakuntala's earthly trajectory, and how these were instrumental in her evolution from the stage of passive, unconscious, and withdrawn archetypal Maiden to that of the conscious, decisive, strong spiritual Mother. To explore the highly complex personalities of Kriemhild and Brunhild in the High German Nibelungenlied is to enter the realm of sun and shadow, the lightened regions of consciousness and the deep interiors of primal darkness.

Truly Feminine translates insights from Jungian psychology into Christian terms so the average woman in American culture can understand them. It distinguishes masculinity from femininity differences denied by the traditional feminist movement and points out that a woman must become aware of and deal with her inner masculine side or it will block the true expression of her femininity. Samson, David, Paul, and Jesus are used as images to symbolize the four aspects of a woman’s masculine side. Truly Feminine discusses both the positive and negative sides of these four inner masculine aspects and how they can distort and disrupt the true expression of a woman’s feminine nature. A number of negative feminine types are discussed including the clinging vine mother, the social climber, the judge, the boss, the door mat woman, the spinning top woman, the mermaid, the scholarly woman, the nagging wife, the patriarchal woman, the medium, and the witch woman. Biblical as well as contemporary women are used to illustrate the various negative feminine types.
