Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Description
Within every woman lies a powerful, instinctual force—the Wild Woman—filled with fierce creativity, passionate knowing, and untamed wisdom that society often works to suppress. In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés draws on rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and folk stories to help women reconnect with their authentic, visionary nature and reclaim the deep, life-giving messages of their souls. Through carefully woven narratives and insightful commentary, Estés guides readers to retrieve and understand this wild, instinctual self—one that is both magic and medicine. This transformative exploration creates a new psychology of women, honoring what is tough, smart, and untamed within the female psyche. A modern classic that has resonated with millions, this book offers women a path to wholeness by embracing the fierce, healthy attributes of their instinctual nature.
