The graffiti on this tree has many images. Feel free to project what you see and or tell a story about what you view in this piece. What caught my eye was the image of a woman on the top right that appears to have an eye and part of her face taped representing the unspoken view of woman around the world who are subjugated to the power of others. Jungian analysts Linda Leonard and Marion Woodman have written many books to elucidate the bonded female and mad woman archetype using mythology, archetypes and fairy tales. The image of the madwoman appears frequently in women’s dreams, according to Leonard ( The Wounded Women: Healing the Father and Daughter Relationship ). She makes a good case that the madwoman is a messenger, metaphor and model who points the way to women’s liberation. The author encourages women to acknowledge their own madwoman in order to transform themselves. She intriguingly redefines many female stereotypes- The Dark Muse, The Recluse, The Bag Lady, The Visionary, The Caged Bird- in relation to her archetype. What is especially interesting here are the examples from famous women, literature, films and Leonard’s own patients. The most remarkable include Camille Claudel, Alma Mahler, Maria Callas, Rosa Luxemburg and Rachel Carson—as well as the imaginary Medea, Mrs. Bridges, Blue Angel and Thelma and Louise. Leonard also shows how some of the real women she writes about were influenced by the fictional or mythical women. In this work, she provides a new perspective on how women can break out of culturally imposed roles. Leonard uses more examples than theorizing to make complex Jungian concepts understandable, accounting for her readability and popularity.
