Unearthing Venus: My Search for the Woman Within

In the tradition of Eat, Pray, Love and Cheryl Strayed’s Wild comes a fresh voice in women’s non-fiction.

Cate Montana was raised in a man's world to be "just one of the guys" and swiftly rose to success as a network TV editor and journalist. Then, on assignment, a shocking interview with a shaman changes her life and sets her on the path of discovering the illusive power of the feminine. In a wrenching recapitulation of her life, she realizes the devastating absence of feminine qualities within herself and the terrifying global consequences having only one paradigm available for women to express through: the masculine world of Power, Control, Possessions, Profit, and Progress. A riveting, intelligent, and frequently funny memoir, Cate takes readers on an amazing journey into the heart of the Amazon jungle, up staggering peaks in the Andes, and halfway across the globe to the consecration of a temple to the Great Goddess in southern India as she searches for the missing Feminine within herself and Western Culture. Unearthing Venus is a visionary everywoman story and social commentary that brilliantly captures what it is to be a woman today and everyday.
