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.

NOT THE BOOK! Just a 2 hour version!

Where does Women Who Run with the Wolves rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I thought I was downloading the whole book, but this is only a 2 hour abbreviated version. This was very disappointing, but I enjoyed listening nevertheless. Just be aware that you are not buying the audible version of the whole book.

Loveeee this book, wish it was the full book though

Her story telling skills are amazing. She really captures her audience. Like the other reviews said, I wish she read the whole book. I did buy a physical copy and have started reading that
