Advance Praise forSpinning Straw into Gold "Open Joan Gould's lovely book anywhere and you will find something recognizable, as relevant today as when you were a child. That's the magic of fairy tales. Be wise, be strong, and grab life like the heroes and heroines in Spinning Straw into Gold." NANCY FRIDAY, author ofMy Mother, Myself, andMy Secret Garden "In this ingenious, wonderfully readable work, Joan Gould takes a long look at women's lives by way of familiar fairy tales and mythsthose tried-and-true tales, told over and over through the generations, that subtly incorporate powerful symbols and beliefs about the nature of a woman's roles and her relationships. This is at once a deep yet thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable book." MAGGIE SCARF, author ofSecrets, Lies, BetrayalsandIntimate Partners "Just as Joseph Campbell revealed the hero's adventures, Joan Gould has shown us the heroine and how she must face those tasks, as formidable as any hero's, in whose accomplishment lies the fulfillment of a woman's life. Spinning Straw into Gold belongs in the company of the few books that give us what we recognize as true but haven't the ability to articulate for ourselves. Like the Queen's magic mirror in the story of Snow White, it shines, and what it says is not only right but essential." --KATHRYN HARRISON, author ofThe KissandThe Mother Knot "Taking the life of a woman through her changes, from maiden to matron to croneone change empowering the next until the last restores her to the firstJoan Gould has written a passionate song of praise for life itself. Her book is as nourishing as the fairy tales she treats, as tonic as the Homeric 'Hymn to Demeter,' with which the line begins, and as awestruck as Robert Graves's 'White Goddess,' with which it might have endedhad Gould not produced her inspired Spinning Straw into Gold to rejuvenate us all."

Synopsis
"What's your favorite fairy tale?" Joan Gould asks in the Introduction to this brilliantly original book about the hidden meanings in fairy tales and what these beloved stories reveal about a woman's life. Whether your answer is "Cinderella" (most women's choice), "Hansel and Gretel," or another tale, your favorite conveys something significant about you, your experiences, and your soul something perhaps not obvious to outsiders and possibly not entirely clear to you. Throughout this illuminating book, Gould delves into the deeper meanings behind fairy tales and mythshelping you to understand not only what your choice of fairy tale may mean for you, but also what you need to be doing during the three main stages of development: maiden, matron, and crone. "This is a book about women," Gould writes, "specifically about fairy tales and the way they illuminate the metamorphoses at each stage of a woman's life: those shifts in consciousness as well as biology that propel women from one level of being to another." As Gould expertly addresses the transformations many women experiencemarriage, childbirth, and widowhoodher keen observations may surprise you, and it is through these revelations, that Gould truly works her magic. The story of Sleeping Beauty allegorizes the role that waiting plays in the attainment of womanhood; "Rapunzel" illuminates a bride's ambivalence toward her impending nuptials; "The Seal Wife" acknowledges a mother's sense of loss of self to the demands of her family. Most poignantly, through the myth of Demeter and Persephone, Gould grapples with the final stage of a woman's life, the unexpected expansion of a woman's spirit in old age. Full of archetypal figures known to us all, this wonderfully perceptive work is also populated with narratives from the lives of ordinary women. These personal stories of Sleeping Beauties who fell asleep in puberty and awoke ten years later to find themselves married to the wrong man, or the right oneillustrate the rich insights that are to be gained from familiar story figures. Replete with a wealth of wisdom about the private battles and public roles each woman must face in her life, Spinning Straw into Gold explores the choices, demands, and changes a woman must face every day.

- a***s (12582)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufI'm very disappointed with this seller! The sent me a book that had water damage. It wasn't listed correctly. I filed for a return and they took all of the 5 days allotted to approve. I shipped it back and they didn't issue a refund when the book arrived. eBay finally had to get involved and issue the refund. Really terrible customer service...never even heard from the seller. I wouldn't order from this vendor again.
