The Way of All Women
M. Esther Harding · 1933 · 314 pages
Acclaimed as one of the best works available on feminine psychology from the time it first appeared in 1933, "The Way of All Women" discusses topics such as work, marriage, motherhood, old age, and women's relationships with family, friends, and lovers. Dr. Harding, who was best known for her work with women and families, stresses the need for a woman to work toward her own wholeness and develop the many sides of her nature, and emphasizes the importance of unconscious processes.

“It was published I think in the 30s, and the thing that’s extraordinary about this book – because there’s been other books like this, Passages is probably the most user-friendly of them – I found it a handbook. I look back at the decades as a woman and the decisions that I made and the crossroads that I crossed, and I found it very helpful. It didn’t feel archaic, it still felt fresh and it was useful. Because women and women’s roles have changed so much, we’ve come so far since the 1930s but Esther Harding was in some ways a clairvoyant to the possibilities of that. I found it fascinating.”↗
