Each chapter looks at a different foremother and a different issue she must grapple with in order to gain the wisdom to move into deeper relationship with herself, those she loves, and the Divine. Dr. Mirkin ties their struggles to those of contemporary women and men she has met in her twenty-year clinical practice and looks at what we can learn from their experiences. Our foremothers' stories offer profound lessons in living. Their legacies can guide us as we face similar challenges, have similar sorrows and confusions and find similar hope and blessings on our path to more intimate connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarsha Mirkin, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and resident scholar at Brandeis University Women's Studies Research Center. The ideas for this book are drawn from courses she has been teaching on psychological interpretations and the contemporary relevance of the Bible. Dr. Mirkin has held appointments at Harvard Medical School and Boston University School of Medicine, and has been on the faculty of the Jean Baker Miller Institute at Wellesley College.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monkfish Book Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780974935904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.62w x 0.65d","brand":"Marsha Mirkin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36646131466396,"sku":"9780974935904","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0cfcdbad-44e9-4bbc-b3cb-3e38ff41e583.jpg?v=1603863199","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-women-who-danced-by-the-sea-finding-ourselves-in-the-stories-of-our-biblical-foremothers-9780974935904","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
