Activism for the Modern Day Artemis

From the author dubbed “an Artemis,” by Gloria Steinem, comes Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman, a book dedicated to women with the courage and passion to change the world.

Myths come to life. Worshiped in Ancient Greece as a protectress of young girls, Artemis was the goddess of hunting, nature, and chastity—the original “wild woman.” In Artemis, Jungian analyst and best-selling author, Jean Shinoda Bolen, revives the goddess Artemis to reclaim the female passion and persistence to survive and succeed.

We are all goddesses. But an indomitable spirit isn’t just reserved for the gods. In her book, Dr. Bolen revives the myth of Atalanta, an archetypal Artemis and mere mortal. To Atalanta, fate was no obstacle. Left to die because she was born a girl, she faces the Calydon Boar and outruns any man attempting to claim her as his wife. In Artemis, women are encouraged to discover their inner heroine—the activist who never gives up, who cannot be subdued.

Artemis today. Face it: women can’t be tamed. Whether women’s rights activists or Princess Merida from Brave, the Artemis personality is embodied in the modern women. Hailed by a modern-day Artemis, Isabel Allende, as a “beautiful, inspiring book,” Artemis is dedicated to all women and girls who discover her unconquerable spirit in themselves or others. Inside find:

  • Examples of Artemis in real-life and popular culture
  • Ancient and modern ways to be your authentic self
  • A source of strength, power, and integrity

If you enjoyed the books Women Who Run with the Wolves, Wild Mercy, or Goddesses in Everywoman, you’ll love Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Whether or not women know it, Artemis is the archetype or goddess who can inspire us to be activists in the world. In Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman, Jean Shinoda Bolen provides ancient and modern ways to be our authentic, courageous, and passionate selves. Jean herself is an Artemis." --Gloria Steinem ― Reviews

"Artemis is emerging in the popular culture as a new source of strength, power and integrity. She is the protector of life, the activist who never gives up, the idealistic heroine who cannot be subdued. In this beautiful, inspiring book, Bolen shows how a woman can draw upon her courage and her passion to change the world." ?Isabel Allende, author of House of the Spirits and most recently, Ripper ― Reviews

"In the lineage of Joseph Campbell, Bolen weaves a powerful and vivid connection between ancient myth and our postmodern world. With her unique voice as a psychiatrist and her work inspired by her work in Jungian psychology, she gives us many models of perseverance in an age fought with challenges, especially for women and girls. Within these pages you'll find many images and stories that will lead you to the power of your own imagination." ?Justine Willis Toms, Cofounder, host New Dimensions Radio, author of Small Pleasures: Finding Grace in a Chaotic World ― Reviews

"Once again Jean Shinoda Bolen inspires us with her magical ability to connect our daily behaviors and realities with archetypal stories and patterns. Like Goddess in Every Woman, I couldn't stop reading Artemis. It left me with a much deeper understanding of what women face around the world, as well as food for thought to reflect upon the daily realities of female empowerment. I couldn't recommend it more." Zainab Salbi, founder of Women for Women International ― Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep learning about myself through the ancient goddess of the wilderness.
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2022
Verified Purchase
I don't often write reviews on Amazon but this book has been a key volume in my personal library since I first read/listened to it (I have it in both formats). Learning through mythic motifs is a powerful tool in understanding myself more fully. This book helped me unpack the wild nature within me and gives context to the struggle I often feel in the face of the pressures of "polite society." A wonderful read and/or listen. (I loved hearing Dr. Shinoda Bolen's voice as she read this book so clearly near to her heart and soul."

5.0 out of 5 stars Artemis is waiting for you to let Her be present in your life
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015
Verified Purchase
Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the Moon, of the hunt & a Goddess that is in every woman. She may appear in us in our youth, teenage yrs. or even in as we enter our midlife time. She is the spark that let's us take up causes we feel are important.
This book focuses on "Atalanta" a mortal woman during Greek's golden era. She is an Artemis archetype. A woman at the height of Her strength, agility and willingness to go after what we want. We women who are like Artemis are living our lives with passion, to succeed, conquer & win!
The author, Jean Shinoda Bolen, is a well-known writer of books on Goddesses & the stages of our own lives. She has written the "Goddesses in every women," "Crossing to Avalon." and "Goddesses in older Women.
If you long to experience the "Artemis" in you that lies waiting, read this book. You might even recognize yourself as an Artemis archetype too.

4.0 out of 5 stars A rich in-depth study of the evolving power of women
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2015
Verified Purchase
Bolen is at her best in this deep, rich study of the archetypal power of women to unseat the patriarchy that threatens to destroy us all. I could not read this quickly, but it never left me bored or unchallenged. I did not give it five stars because Bolen has a tendency to repeat herself in detail rather than in summary. I do recommend this work for not only women seeking to understand their power, but for men to understand it, too!

Perhaps I read this book at the right time in my life, however I thought this was an excellent book for any woman looking to add deeper understanding to her life journey. Anyone wishing for more understanding of a woman's ancient history and how it applies today should read this book. While at times it seems as though we have forgotten our greater purpose, this book helped me to fill in and remove a few remaining doubts about personal choices I have made, giving me the perspective of real strength, not weakness. I am already recommending this book to many of my friends. I thought the book was well written and was pleased that it gave me the opportunity to better understand and explore the stories of other women who are sharing this same journey.

1.0 out of 5 stars Triggering
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021
Verified Purchase
I had read the book about godesses from Jean and I found that one interesting so I decided to read this one in order to find insight to trauma, the only thing I found in this book is triggering content, the last one worst than the previos one.

She doesn't give you any information in how to tap to that inner Artemis, she just add cases were there are women who have the archetype and women who don't, which is not useful at all (and I have the archetype, I'm an Artemis in that sense so is not a review of "she told me I'm not so I'm mad"). On top of that she seems very unconscious on how tough trauma is, she just adds and adds cases of women sexually abused in the worst ways possible and say if they are Artemis archetypes or not which is just judgemental and awful and absolutely useless!

If you have suffered abuse or any kind of trauma just skip this book, there are a lot of other book better suited for the discussion where there is more respect for a person that has suffered sexual abuse. It's kind of insensitive and just triggering.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful stories. Hard-to-follow structure.
Reviewed in Germany on July 5, 2020
Verified Purchase
The information presented in this book was both deep & broad; however, the presentation was often disjointed, jagged & non- linear making it difficult to follow, especially in digital format. As a neophyte in the goddess world of mythology, I found it difficult to understand why the author kept talking about many other goddesses (Atalanta, Hecate, Hestia, etc, etc) and why she wasn’t talking about Artemis exclusively.
