" When a woman starts to disentangle herself from patriarchy, ultimately she is abandoned to her own self. She comes to an unknown place where she must let the old way of being die and the new way come forth. During the initiation the new feminine potential - that rambunctious girl-child who was conceived and birthed inside during her awakening and had been there all along- starts to grow and develop into the woman she will be."
Kidd, Sue Monk, Dance of the Dissident Daughter, 1992
