Abstract
When I first made contact with these ideas, I was seized by them, both intellectually and emotionally for I knew that somehow they held the key to self understanding. I have since made my own study of the Feminine and Masculine Principles over the last seven years and they are the subject matter of this thesis. My special interest, however, focuses on the essence of the Feminine Principle as the capacity for relatedness, which Jung emphasized and which spoke to me from the moment it was identified as such. I have since felt compelled to explore and write about the nature of feminine relatedness for it is most meaningful to me and is, I believe, of meaning and value for many women today as well.
