Describe symbolism in Goddesses in Everywoman: A New Psychology of Women by Jean Shinoda Bolen

The symbolism of the hearth is twofold but after the manner of how every hand has both a back and a front side, both of which can be well known. The front side is the daily life: children, food, intergenerational relatives. The backside is that pure mysteriously raw feeling of home. There are people who can have and can create this 'home' quality and those who are not able to. Whenever it is present, there is the hearth, and in this book, the archetype of Hestia.
