In her bestseller "Women Who Run with the Wolves," storyteller and psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estés tells the story of the wild, untamed woman archetype. She resides within every female psyche, granting women their creativity, energy, and strength. For centuries, the "wild woman" has been suppressed by a male-oriented value system. Yet, it is only through her that a woman can be strong and happy. Estés illustrates how women can reconnect with the roots of their instinctual nature. She narrates and analyzes around twenty myths, fairy tales, and stories from various cultures around the world, thereby awakening the instinctual qualities of the wise, passionate, and free "wild woman.".
