Courage in the development of self in women.
The author discusses the development of self in women, explores the role of courage inherent in this movement, and, employing existentialist notions of courage as authenticity, explicates how these notions may lead to the development of a stronger sense of self. Notes as well that this development of self entails a dangerous complexity and that pastoral care providers will want to aid women in holding together both autonomy and connection.
