I didn't much care for this book. I ended up mostly just skimming it, and then reading all the quotes from the women. Sacker seemed to want to pigeonhole everyone into the same category, so that he could prove his ideas were right. Sensing the Self deals with similar issues, but, in my opinion, is a much better book.
