Linda Schierse Leonard writes in her book _The Wounded Woman_:

"Recently I asked one of my classes to describe their images and
experience of feminine spirit.  This same class had described 
their fantasy of the good father earlier in the term.  That was
not difficult for them to do and their descriptions of the good
father were amazingly similar.   But when it came to describing
feminine spirit, they were at first stymied.  The descriptions
were quite different.  The one common experience was that none
of these women felt they could use their mother as a model.  
They had to turn to themselves and try to bring out their own 
experience."

I thought a discussion of our images and experiences of the
feminine spirit would be an interesting topic for this forum.
