The Queen’s Path: A Revolutionary Guide to Women's Empowerment and Sovereignty

A fascinating exploration of the divided woman, the familiar "good girl" and the "other woman", and how these archetypes can shape our individual destinies.

"The path for women to succeed beyond the Divided Woman is to tell her story, and in doing so enable every woman to learn the truth about her potential."

In this book, psychotherapist Dr. Stacey Simmons explores the ways women are made to turn against themselves at a young age. Using fairy tales, stories, films, television, musicals, and the lives of her patients, Dr. Simmons reveals an ancient pattern hidden in plain sight for over a thousand years. She named it The Queen's Path, and in this book she explains how it has been used against women for millennia, and how women can use it themselves to overcome obstacles and become queens of their own lives.

Sovereignty—the ability to advocate for, and ultimately direct one's own life—is the realm every person longs for. There is a path to sovereignty for every woman who wants it, if she'll only place her glass slipper along The Queen's Path.

The Queen's Path is a rare combination of both a guidebook and a story map to help anyone make sense of the world of women.
