Woman: Queen and Indomitable The desire of every woman!

Which woman really feels like a queen? And how many would define themselves as indomitable women? Queen and indomitable woman: although many women sense the fascination of these images, unfortunately few truly perceive the corresponding facets of their femininity. Modern women like to live their own lives. They want to discover what they would be capable of if they were guided by their own strengths, instead of defining themselves based on the expectations of others. At the same time, they often suffer from the fact that they feel misunderstood and alone in their process of "being a woman." "We have chosen the two archetypal images of women as the title for our book: indomitable and queen. In our opinion, these two images express very clearly the fundamental attributes that keep a woman alive: the sum of both gives her energy. The woman who allows the indomitable woman and the queen to manifest in herself simultaneously will also be in a position to embody all the other images, be it that of the maternal woman, the lover, the artist or the prophetess,” the authors state. In these pages, Linda Jarosch and Anselm Grün present fourteen female figures taken from the Bible, to show a series of attributes that every woman possesses: artist and wise, lover and maternal, smiling and combative, queen and indomitable, among others, with the aim of helping women to discover their most specific being and to live the inner richness of their femininity. In addition, these images are intended to show women the way to follow if they wish to heal the wounds caused by false images of women, as well as to offer them support in finding their own integrity, their own "salvation."
