An Excerpt from The Farther Reaches of Human Nature

TAGS: None

The fol­low­ing is from The Far­ther Reaches of Human Nature (Viking Press, 1971) by the psy­chol­o­gist Abra­ham H. Maslow, as quoted in Sex­ist Stereo­types and Arche­types: What to Do With Them/ What the Writ­ing Woman Can Hope For by Jean­nette M. Hopper:

I have learned recently (through my stud­ies of peak expe­ri­ences) to look at women and to fem­i­nine cre­ative­ness as a good field of oper­a­tion for research, because it gets less involved in prod­ucts, less involved in achieve­ment, more involved with the process itself, with the going-on process rather than with the cli­max in obvi­ous tri­umph and success.”
