When Sally Patton speaks of a feminist revolution of the heart, she includes the need to leave behind the victim role. This is an important addition. With it, she acknowledges the "collective anger" being "felt, grieved and cleared" to allow women to come into "fierce love—first for ourselves and then for everyone." Sally grew, as many did, to be a caretaker of men's egos. Speaking of the message she "absorbed" from her mother, I could also identify. As she suggests, patriarchal values are dissolving as women share "our heroine's journeys." I also celebrate and witness, along with her, the beauty, support and power of the feminine in community. ~ Mari Perron, author of A Course of Love, Mirari: The Way of the Marys
