Through interviews with women such as Jane Goodall, Margaret Trudeau and Jeanne Beker, among others, Women & Passion author Sara Rosenthal explores the roots, fruits, and consequences of passion lost, passion denied, and passion found. Close in spirit to Gail Sheehy's Passages, readers of Women & Passion will quickly recognize the universal cycles of romantic passion, and aspects of their own patterns and behaviours. They will discover not only how they got where they are, but how to get out (or move on) to a fuller and richer stage in their lives.

A sampling of what's inside:

• the absence of passion: the social and situational triggers of depression
• unhealthy passions: why women will sometimes seek out affairs, and what they can do to pull themselves up and out
• when passions fade: the importance of balancing passions and routine
• passion fruits: the costs and rewards of living life more passionately
