Creatrix Rising: Unlocking the Power of Midlife Women by Stephanie RaffelockMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Creatrix Rising by Stephanie Raffelock celebrates the creative potential of women in their 40s and older. The book provides insights into the history of women's journey through the stages of life, challenging the stereotypes of the Maiden/Mother/Crone labels. Stephanie encourages women to embrace their later years as a creative playground to be explored and savored, rather than dry up during menopause and become the stereotype of ugly, useless "crones". Each chapter includes questions and journal opportunities to elicit thoughts about ourselves and our relationships with women in society. This beautifully written empowering read boldly punches the crone archetype in the face and delivers the raw truth of women’s struggle to rise above that negative mindset. Recommended.
