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.

My Holy Book

This book is the best book I’ve ever read in my 66 years of life. How I found it I do not remember. I think God put this book in my hands. As I read I screamed I cried I jumped for joy until I fell on my knees praying to the One Creator
“Thank you, God in Heaven for the person who wrote This book. Thank you!!!!

A MUST LISTEN

This book is incredibly well written and I absolutely love the narration as well! If you are a woman or have women in your life this is essential. Even if you don't identify with being a wild woman we need more people to understand this aspect of femininity. The divine feminine. It is powerful and kind and wild. Thank you thank you for this book, Clarissa.

It’s very Short, but powerful

The author’s own voice adds to the beauty of these stories.

This is very abridged, so if you like it, check out the full book!
