A new era in women's self-awareness is emerging: the era of conscious femininity. Reaping the fruits of feminism and personal development movements, women today have the opportunity to experience a new and deeper femininity, a consciously chosen femininity that includes the benefits of a long struggle for independence.

Being a woman is an unprecedented book, a kind of new "Aquarius Conspiracy" referring to the female universe. A group of eminent psychologists and cultural scholars analyze and describe the experiences that can give access to a new level of female consciousness. Here we study what it means to be a woman in a world presided over by masculine archetypes, but where women do not want to "go back to being like their mothers" or "become men". Here's why so many women are getting divorced precisely in conventional marriages. The disenchantment with the promises of the old feminism is analyzed. The fact that many women abandon their professions to have a child at an advanced age is faced. A new archetype of femininity is deepened and the spirituality of the Goddess is explored.

Being a woman refers, in short, to the longing for a genuinely feminine identity, to the desire to fulfill oneself as a woman and as a person, to the encounter between freedom and the root of one's being. At a time when feminine values ​​are gaining unusual height, this book offers an irreplaceable vision of renewal.
