Book Reviews of The Bond between Women
Book Review: This Book Is A Blessing & A Gift
Summary: 5 Stars
This book remains my favorite of all time. I have read, studied, & treasured countless books about the Divine Feminine, but none compare to this woman's spiritual courage and sensitivity. It made me enraged & it broke me down to tears- Never have I been more proud to be a woman on this journey. A reviewer below criticized the author for finding enlightenment in forgiveness and resolution in righteous action. We are NOT here on this earth to deliver retribution, but to evolve and come into full SPIRITUAL POWER. Anyone can pursue revenge and remain in a self-righteous, angry abyss, but it takes a very refined soul, courageous heart, and deep spiritual intelligence to accomplish what this author has. I feel pity for those who missed the revolutionary purpose of this book. Goddess bless you, China Galland for taking me into your hell and your heaven- the journey was unforgettable and will live in my own life and actions forever.
Summary of The Bond between Women
In beautiful prose, China Galland weaves myths and travel narrative into a powerful chronicle of the spiritual journey, tracing the reemergence of fierce compassion both in the struggles of women around the world and at sacred sites of pilgrimage.The story is the same all over the world. In Nepal, a woman doctor works tirelessly to rescue children who have been sold to Indian brothels. In Argentina, the mothers of the "disappeared" bear witness against the government that stole the lives of their children. In India, Mother Theresa's Sisters soothe the fears of the dying, and an international women's campaign works to clean the waters of the Ganges River.
Around the world, women are working for justice, for healing, and the lives of these women reveal an unusual source of strength: the fiercemess of comapssion symbolized in ancient icons, images, and archetypes of the wrathful divine feminine. Known in India as Durga and Kali, in Nepal and Tibet as Tara, and in Europe and Latin America as the Black Madonna and Yemaya, it is the fierce divine feminine, which arises when the world is on the brink of destruction.
