This is a very biased book with many inaccuracies. I keep it only as a reference knowing that what I read in it must be taken with a grain of salt.
In the category of the Feminine Face of God, this book examines the "Feminine Principle of Divinity" examining her history, planet symbolism, her disguises in the Bible, importance to women, and her influence on women today.
