A new look at a remedy often considered archetypally male. Considers how living without a significant male - (husband, father, etc) - can engender feelings of over-burdened responsibility and inadequacy in the female. The rubric "Dreams of Giants" perhaps best expresses Lycopodium’s essence, where normal sized objects suddenly seem bigger & more threatening. The author examines & expands this theme in relation to the remedy, giving new insights into its prescription for women.
