Summary
Network TV editor and journalist Cate Montana was raised in a man's world to be “one of the guys." Then, while on a writing assignment, a chance encounter with a shaman set her on the path of understanding the illusive power of the feminine.
In a riveting recapitulation of her life Cate discovers the devastating absence of feminine qualities within herself and the withering personal and global consequences of having only one paradigm available for her to express through: the masculine "P" values of Power, Possessions, Profit, and Progress.
An intelligent, compellingly honest and frequently funny memoir of a modern woman's search for her unrecognized feminine spirit, Unearthing Venus is both a visionary and everywoman story that brilliantly captures what it is to be a woman today and everyday.
