Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D. is a psychiatrist, a Jungian analyst in private practice, a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California Medical Center, and an internationally known lecturer. She is the author of Goddesses in Older Women: Archetypes in Women Over Fifty, The Millionth Circle, The Tao of Psychology, Goddesses in Everywoman: A New Psychology of Women, Gods in Everyman: A New Psychology of Men's Lives and Loves, Crossing to Avalon: A Woman's Midlife Pilgrimage, Ring of Power, and Close to the Bone. Her most recent work, Urgent Message from Mother: Gather the Women, Save the World is an empowering call to action. "When women are strong together, women can be fiercely protective of what we love." Bolen’s poetic polemic explores the psychological, spiritual, and scientific aspects of women as collaborators for change. She begins with a Jungian examination of the idea of the Holy Grail archetype as "every woman’s secret" and the transformative power of the sacred feminine — the Goddess, Gaia, Earth Mother.
