Women's journey: woman's
growth in the face of envy
The Power of the Great Mother is the
story of a mother-huntress: her daughter is abducted and
mistreated and she rescues her daughter and takes revenge.
I tell the story and show how it portrays feminine psychology differentiating in the face of envy.
