Women Who Run with the Wolves

Within every woman lives a powerful force of good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing called the Wild Woman, the instinctual nature of women. Though this gift belongs to women at birth, society's push to civilize them into rigid roles has muffled the deep messages of their own souls. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this nature, retrieving and understanding the Wild Woman.
