Women's Rites of Passage

"Women's Rites of Passage" grew out of Abigail Brenner's desire to answer some fundamental questions about the role of rites of passage in contemporary women's lives. Relying on a research study involving over 50 women, Brenner shows how women today understand the need to take responsibility for their lives and for directing their own paths, and are beginning to do so by creating their own very personal rites of passage.
