Conclusion: This Is Act III
At some point after fifty, every woman crosses a threshold into the third phase of her life. As she enters this uncharted territory one that is generally celebrated in popular culture- she can choose to mourn what has gone before or she can embrace the juicy-crone years.
In this celebration of Act Three, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Jungian analyst and bestselling author of Goddesses in everywoman, names the powerful new energies and potentials-or archetyes-that come into the psyche at this momentous time, suggesting that women getting older have profound and exciting reasons for welcoming the other side of fifty.
