Summary
In this groundbreaking, deeply evocative work, Clarissa Pinkola Estés—Jungian analyst and gifted storyteller—reclaims the feminine soul through myth, fairy tale, and folklore. Women Who Run With the Wolves explores the “Wild Woman” archetype, that instinctual and untamed force within women that modern life attempts to silence. Drawing from world traditions and the deep well of the collective unconscious, Estés shows how stories act as medicine, guiding women back to their intuitive, fierce, and soulful nature. With poetic insight and a healer’s heart, she invites readers to rediscover the raw power and wisdom buried beneath social conditioning. Each tale she unpacks is an invitation to wholeness—addressing grief, creativity, love, rage, and rebirth. This book is more than a read; it is a rite of passage. Essential for anyone seeking to awaken their inner fire or support others on their journey toward authentic living.
