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.

Beauty of the feminine energy

(sigh) This book speaks to your spirit. Clarissa teaches you to trust your intuition & break free of any familial or societal chains that are enslaving you. This is a must read!

Worth a Read

Loved the clarity with which she told stories that resonate, heal, and envelope you at the same time.

Recommend this book to anyone who desires to understand the true nature of a woman. It' is accurate, compelling, body and heart warming.
