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.

Soulful and wise

My only wish is that is was longer. Is there any more of this available? I have the book, have read it and have had it for many years. It’s complex and long and I think it’ll be difficult to do the entire book like this. For me this was a great summary and I felt like I had been to a therapy session with the wisest woman and therapist. But I want more!
