Achterflaptekst:

Here is the story of four magical women who acted outside the boundaries of accepted codes of behavior and heralded the birth of a new age and a new kind of woman. In the heart of the repressive Victorian era, aristocratic revolutionary Maud Gonne, psychic channel Moina Bergson Mathers, patron of the arts Annie Horniman, and actress Florence Farr formed the heart of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society whose members included Nobel laureates George Bernard Shaw and William Butler Yeats. Through in-depth study of the practice of magic, they worked to purify their spiritual natures and to perfect their own creative powers. Their imaginative skills, determination, and belief in their own abilities worked a kind of great magic that transformed not only themselves but politics, literature, and the Western traditions of alchemy, astrology, Hermeticism, and ceremonial magic as well. Today’s woman can draw from the knowledge, struggles, and triumphs of these uncompromising spiritual foremothers to help achieve her own self-esteem, power, and wisdom.

Curl up in front of the fireplace with this one and discover what feminist women were all about a hundred years ago!" -- Vicki Noble, author of Motherpeace: A Way to the Goddess and Shakti Woman: Feeling Our Fire, Healing Our World.

"Women of the Golden Dawn is one of the most thorough, most thoughtful, most illuminating accounts of women's lives I’ve read in a long while. Magic and mystery! Herstory times four." -- Susun Weed, author of Wise Woman Herbal or the Childbearing Year and Menopausal Years: The Wise Woman Way.
