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.

A must read

The perspective of this book helps women understand what is instinctively already known but forgotten or buried. The audio is soothing to me and also captivating.

WOW!

So on point. So many lessons. I cannot say enough how much I loved this book. My only disappointment is that it was abridged, and very much so. After attempting the book before, this was just what I needed to pull me in. Now to go read the whole book.
