...game was big too. Early on, the 5-ft. 7-in. Navratilova was nicknamed the Iron Maiden for her stamina and physical power. Her first serve is the strongest women's tennis has seen since the heyday of Margaret Court. Even as a teenager, she could pin opponents to the stadium wall with deep, booming serves. She charged to the net for follow-up volleys as aggressively as Billie Jean King at her fearless peak.

In her book, she draws on both her own studies of children and the work of other researchers, chiefly Psychoanalyst Margaret Mahler, who describes the child's efforts to establish its own identity as "a second birth" or "psychological birth" that occurs around the age of 18 months. In the first four months of life, says Kaplan, the baby is merged with the mother in "the bliss of unconditional love" that later becomes the model for adult conceptions of ecstasy and perfect union...
