Special Offer!	THE QUEEN OF MY SELF: Stepping Into Sovereignty in Midlife By Donna Henes (Monarch Press 2004) $16.95 From one of the leading spiritual practitioners writing and working today, a landmark book that celebrates a new mythic model for the middle years of a woman's life -- the Queen! Millions of women are now entering or in the midst of midlife. With unprecedented freedom, education, longevity, and wealth, they hold positions of unheard of responsibility and stature. No longer Maidens, nor Mothers, and not yet old Crones, the question arises: Where do these dynamic, accomplished middle-aged women fit into the traditional description of the three stages of womanhood? In The Queen of My Self, Donna Henes proposes a completely original paradigm -- that of the midlife Queen, a woman in her prime who has achieved wisdom, mastery, and self-esteem -- that reflects more accurately the realities and needs of women today. Henes draws on history, mythology, and literature, her own life experience, as well as stories from women in many different societies, situations and stations to provide upbeat, practical, and ceremonial inspiration for all women who want to enjoy the fruits of an influential, passionate, and powerful maturity. "Finally, an archetype of midlife power and maturity that I can relate to -- The Queen. Thank you Donna for providing this much-needed missing piece of women's wisdom." --Christiane Northrup, M.D. Author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause More reviews

My houses are poems and journal entries for me now, and I thank Donna Henes for that." --Ntozake Shange The N.Y. Times Book Review More reviews
