In our Judeo-speaker of the Christian, that is to say in a strictly patriarchal tradition, the image archetypal woman is not (...). It follows that, first, the anima human is neglected, and, secondly, the woman is uncertain about its own essence, she does not know what it is or what it could be.
(...) In a matriarchal structure (...), women have spontaneous confidence in their feminine nature (...). They have a very natural insurance in their existence and human behavior.
