Women who run with the wolves

Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype
Book • 1982
In 'Women Who Run With the Wolves,' Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés uses rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and stories to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype.

The book draws heavily on folk tales and mythology from around the world to explore themes of female self-awareness, the forces that stand in the way of this awareness, and the necessary growth cycles of life, death, and rebirth.

Estés guides the reader through various stories and commentaries to retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, emphasizing her natural affiliation with the wolf and highlighting the importance of intuition, resilience, and adaptability in reclaiming one's instinctual self.
