her. What does she need to learn to help her overcome her fear? Does she need to learn how to live in a remote town in order to save her law firm? Does she need to lose an important account so she can save her boss's career?
    Very often a Father's Daughter needs to get back to nature to ease her stress and regain her health. She needs to learn that being a woman is OK, and she doesn't have to do everything herself. Perhaps being “one of the boys” isn't that important. See the film Baby Boom as an example of the Father's Daughter who has to give up her career, move to a house in the country and raise her dead relative's child.
    What happened to her at an early age to make this archetype dominate her personality? Did she see her mother trampled on by men and swear she'd never be that weak? Did her father have all the control in the family? Was she forced to stay inside and play alone as a child, going into her head and out of her body?
    To grow, this archetype is best paired with one of the following:
    The Artist — can teach her about creativity and letting go in the moment.
    The Seducer — can open her sexuality and teach her how to have personal relationships with men.
    The Destroyer — can teach her about raw female power.
    The Scorned Woman — hates other women, such as mistresses, so much she can be an example of how ridiculous it is to hate all women.
    The Matriarch — can show her female power within the family and teach her traditional values.

The Villainous Side of the Father's Daughter: The Backstabber
    As a villain the Father's Daughter will trample others to reach her goals. She can use her calculating, strategic mind to outsmart anyone, and her alliances with powerful men allow her to do this. Sometimes these men take advantage of her loyalty.
    Her rage is great when she learns a man she trusted has betrayed her. While the Amazon woman expects it, the Father's Daughter feels devastated by it because she learns she isn't “one of the boys” like she thought she was. She spends her whole life trying to fit in with them.
    Her whole identity can become wrapped up in her career. Losing it is like death to her. She'll become disloyal before she lets that happen. She'll use her femininity to play the innocent woman routine and later stab a colleague in the back.
    She'll also vehemently fight a woman who fights for women's rights. She doesn't want to admit that the playing field isn't equal for all because that means it's not equal for her. She wants to distance herself from her feminine side and all its weaknesses as she sees it.
    She has unwarranted fears that others are out to get her. She's preoccupied with doubts about the loyalty and trustworthiness of others and is unable to confide in them for fear that what she says will be used against her. She can't relax and is unable to collaborate with colleagues. She becomes suspicious of everyone and detaches herself from the group. Her sense of humor completely disappears.
    She doesn't understand what's wrong with wanting to be successful, powerful and on top. She enjoys the company of men more than women but always has a trump card waiting in the wings to revenge any colleague who betrays her.
