Ariadne's Thread and The Myth of Happily Ever After
A truth-full account for women navigating timeless and enduring challenges

Sarah-Jane Menato

Women in the western democratic world have gained many freedoms in recent years. But in some respects, are as trapped by our cultural paradigm as ever. Reenlisted in epic and endless repeat versions of “happily ever after”, women have not been well served by the all-pervasive narratives they have been raised with. Part map, part workbook, part friend, Ariadne's Thread and The Myth of Happily Ever After provides an overarching narrative across everything women face when staying true to an inner thread of calling.

Endorsements
Beautifully written, clear-sighted and practical, this re-vision of the ancient myth of Ariadne’s Thread gives “happily ever after” a long overdue re-write. It provides deep and insightful navigation truths for women exploring divergent paths and trusting more deeply their own inner authority. Menato’s feminine wisdom is a faithful inner and outer guide. Added potency comes from the fact the author has clearly lived by what she shares in these pages.
