Publisher Description

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.

    " I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Clarissa put into words howI felt about many fairy tales. Whether you agree or not with her interpretations is irrelevent. At the end of the day it is an eye-opener written with humour. You can read it for fun or dissect it, what you get out of it is up to you. "

    " I have two copies, one with no highlights to read and one with highlights and notes all over it. This book is a great study of archetypes from a different perspective. I like the aspect of coming from a Jungian Analyst. Destined to become a classic if it isn't already. "
