Publisher's Summary

First published three years ago before the print edition of Women Who Run with the Wolves made publishing history, this original audio edition quickly became an underground best seller. For it's insights into the inner lives of women, it established Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes as one of the most important voices of our time in the fields of Jungian psychology, myth, and women's mysteries.

Drawing from her work as a psychoanalyst and cantadora (keeper of old stories), Dr. Estes uses myths and folktales to illustrate how societies systematically strip away the feminine spirit. Through an exploration into the nature of the wild woman archetype, Dr. Estes helps listeners rediscover and free their own wild nature.

This should be taught in schools

This was a life changing read for me, and it couldn’t have come along at a time when I needed it more. We are wild women who deserve love and respect!

powerful

I loved this book, so much that I plan on reading it another time. " The wild woman is the one who dares, who creates, and who destroys. She is a primitive and inventing soul that makes all creative acts and arts possible. " this quote is going to stay with me
