A memoir by the well-known American actress. <br /> <br /> In an interview available at feminist.com Dukakis explored her spiritual awakening after performing in a play called “The Trojan Women†and reading Merlin Stone’s book “When God Was a Womanâ€: “I think we’re socialized out of being women and then we have to find our way back to it. That’s hard to do. Sometimes I feel as if four thousand years of silencing women of the fear of women who were burned in oil or eviscerated in front of their daughters is imprinted deep within me and has altered my DNA….People think of crone as a destination you arrive at not as a time in your life when something is still going on. You never ‘arrive.’ It’s not over because you’re fifty or sixty or seventy! I think we’re in endless transition – and that goes on till we die. In that sense maybe Simone de Bouvier was right.
