HERE ALL DWELL FREE: Stories To Heal the Wounded Feminine.
Edition: First printing.
New York: Doubleday, (1991) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - A book which "shows us how the wisdom of folk mythology offers us both the diagnosis of our ills and the healing prescription we seek for our feminine natures. Nelson takes two Grimm's fairy tales and demonstrates how they refect the dilemma of modern women, and men, as they struggle to free and heal the feminine within their own personalities and their very culture. In 'The Handless Maiden,' a miller's daughter sacrifices her flesh-and-blood hands to preserve her father's material, mechanical world. In 'Briar Rose,' a princess is cursed by a forgotten mother-goddess to sleep, deathlike, until her dormant feminine nature is awakened." SIGNED on the half title page. Illustrated with small drawings by the author, bibliography. xiii, 364 pp. ISBN: 0-385421001.
Condition: Very good in a near fine dust jacket (scattered penciled underlining, name and small stamp on front endpaper).
