The Cinderella Complex

Women's Hidden Fear of Independence

by Colette Dowling


"We have only one real shot at 'liberation,' and that is to emancipate ourseives from within. It is the thesis of this  book that personal, psychological dependency - the deep  wish to be taken care of by others - is the chlef force  holding women down today.


I call this 'The Cinderella  Complex' - a network of distorted attitudes and fears  that keeps women in a kind of half-light, retreating from  the full use of their minds and creativity.


Like CInderella, women today are still waiting for something external to  transform their lives." 


In The Cinderella Complex, Colette Dowling uncovers the roots of these inner fears and conflicts, and reveals how women can truly spring free, achieving - finally - a level of  independence that is felt, and real, and lasting.



Pages in unmarked condition. Dust jacket has some rubbing, and wear to edges and corners, chipping at top of spine, and closed tear on back. Hardcover itself is in excellent condition.
