Felt like the kind of reflection I am used to, but she was clearly not. I liked her reflection on her own book at the end, that felt very important to the story. ( ) I am amazed that a woman writing in 1955 could so clearly articulate my own (2022) feelings about womanhood, motherhood, creativity, spirituality, and marriage. Lindbergh's introspection into her life is like a beacon of light for the rest of us to follow as we stumble down our own murky paths. With grace, kindness and remarkable insight, she offers gentle advice on relationships, work, and parenting in a way few other authors have. I'm so grateful a friend recommended this book to me. It was just what I needed at this -- the oyster bed -- phase of my life. A fabulous book that all women should read. I just re-read it last weekend and got so much out of it. The first time I read it, perhaps ten years ago, I also really liked it, but didn't get a lot of what she was saying because it wasn't yet relevant to my life. Its one of those books to read every 5-10 years.
There is a universality in her philosophy which is neither masculine nor feminine. A wise and beautiful book. A thing of beauty which "has the eternal validity of all beautiful and fleeting things." It is a sincere and eloquent plea for the ineffable rights of the individual, especially the individual as a woman. I would swap it for all the bestseller, do-good, inspirational books I have read. Here are some of the profoundest and most helpful observations and comments, expressed in the clearest language, in the warmest tone. Though it deals with the essential needs, gifts, obligations and aspirations of woman as distinct from those of man, it is in no sense merely what is sometimes slightingly called a woman's book. A sensitive, tensile, original mind probes delicately into questions of balance and relationship in the world today, and the result is a book for human beings who are mature or in search of maturity, whether men or women. An Intensely personal book in which, nonetheless, every thoughtful woman will find a reflection of her own half- realized frustrations and answers.
