"Unlike most of us who live ritual at an unconscious level or spurn it altogether, Frederica believes in its power to guide our lives. She designs a ritual for the passage from girlhood to womanhood - a time completely neglected by our culture. It feels brave to do this and reflects her optimism and creativity."
Jane Burdick, Feldenkrais practitioner

"The Gateway creates an opening through which young women can express their feeling about growing older comfortably and decide what it is about becoming a woman that they want to celebrate."
Jessica Carol Dowdy, 17

"Frederica Chapman brings an essential gift to young women and to the elder women who love them. When genuinely experienced, rites of passage bestow maturity on the individual and on the culture."
Marion Woodman, Jungian analyst and author

"Frederica Chapman has brought together a magnificent concept in a form that people can relate to, dream about and assimilate into their lives. It speaks loud and clear for the feminine that so many of us are striving for."
- Marion Woodman, acclaimed Jungian analyst and author

"Classic rite-of-passage literature, appealing and important, with a workbook format clearly designed to encourage dialogue, and inspire personal re-thinking of a subject too often used to polarize rather than to foster understanding."
- Connie Conway, editor

"Perhaps, as the tale promises, our gender prejudices will indeed dissipate if we integrate the energy of the Old Goddess into our consciousness. For stories like this wonderfully told tale are actually our inside truths! Listen carefully!"
- Karen Gillman, PhD, poet and author
