Artemis | The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman

Worshiped in Ancient Greece as a protectress of young girls, Artemis was the goddess of hunting, nature, and chastity—the original “wild woman.” In Artemis, Jungian analyst and bestselling author Jean Shinoda Bolen revives the goddess Artemis to reclaim the female passion and persistence to survive and succeed. An indomitable spirit isn’t just reserved for the gods.

In her book, Dr. Bolen revives the myth of Atalanta, an archetypal Artemis and mere mortal. To Atalanta, fate was no obstacle. Left to die because she was born a girl, she faces the Calydonian boar and outruns any man attempting to claim her as his wife. In Artemis, women are encouraged to discover their inner heroine—the activist who never gives up, who cannot be subdued.
