About the Book

Ever since Eve was banned from the garden, women have endured the oftentimes painful and inaccurate definitions foisted upon them by the patriarchy. Maiden, mother, and crone, representing the three stages assigned to a woman's life cycle, have been the limiting categories of both ancient and modern (neo-pagan) mythology. And one label in particular rankles: crone. The word conjures a wizened hag-useless for the most part, marginalized by appearance and ability. None of us has ever truly fit the old-crone image, and for today's midlife women, a new archetype is being birthed: the creatrix. In Creatrix Rising, Stephanie Raffelock lays out-through personal stories and essays-the highlights of the past fifty years, in which women have gone from a quiet strength to a resounding voice. She invites us along on her own transformational journey by providing probing questions for reflection so that we can flesh out and bring to life this new archetype within ourselves. If what the Dalai Lama has predicted-that women will save the world-proves true, then the creatrix will for certain be out front, leading the pack.

Review :
2021 Living Now Book Awards Silver Winner in Aging/Death & Dying 2021 International Book Awards Finalist in Women's Issues "Full of heart and impassioned insight . . . Creatrix Rising empowers and inspires midlife women with the author's hard-earned wisdom, providing a framework for readers to come into their own revolutionary power as a Creatrix." --BookLife "The disparity between the cultural perception of midlife women and how women actually see themselves has opened the door for a new archetype, the Creatrix. In her new book on the theme of positive aging, Creatrix Rising, Stephanie Raffelock offers a reimagining of midlife as the most powerful and creative time in a woman's life, celebrating her strengths and redefining her beauty. This is a book that shifts the paradigm of what's possible as women age and ushers in a much-needed cultural transformation that benefits everyone." --Joan Borysenko, PhD, New York Times best-selling author and founding partner of Mind/Body Health Sciences, LLC "The perfect topic at the perfect time, Stephanie Raffelock's self-help memoir, Creatrix Rising, identifies a new archetype, the Creatrix, that transcends the old archetype of Crone. Her stories and insights about how far women have come is nothing short of inspirational. A must-read for any woman who wants to embrace the strength and creativity of midlife." --Marci Shimoff, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Happy for No Reason and Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul "Poetic and philosophical, Creatrix Rising will inspire readers to claim the courage and confidence that already lives inside of them. An intimate story of transformation, of journeying through life on your own terms without apology." --Richard Blanco, 2013 Presidential Inaugural Poet and author of How to Love a Country "The new archetype Stephanie Raffelock assigns to midlife women underscores the assets and wisdom older women bring to our culture and to the greater good. Creatrix Rising is an affirmation and celebration of the feminine story taking place in leadership and creativity throughout our country." --Gabby Reese, volleyball legend, Nike's first female spokeswoman, and New York Times best-selling author "Prompts for reflection, journaling, and action-taking are amply provided in Stephanie Raffelock's Creatrix Rising--an eclectic, personable, encouraging, deep-pondering, and potentially life-changing ode to ladies coming into their own." --IndieReader
