Women Who Run with the Wolves by Pinkola Estés

Women Who Run With The Wolves is undoubtedly one of the most widely acclaimed and most influential books of recent years. It has been heralded as the seminal work on the inner life of women. A work of both poetry and power, it began a revolution and continues to transform the lives of millions round the world. 

Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a Jungian psychoanalyst and cantadora (keeper of the old stories), of many years standing. She reveals how within every woman there lives a Wild Woman, filled with passionate creativity and ageless knowing – but repressed for centuries by a value system that trivializes emotional truth, intuitive wisdom and instinctual self-confidence. Dr Estes’s extraordinary and enriching bestseller shows how, through her foremost interpretation of story and her psychological commentary, we can reclaim, and rejoice in, our true feminine power – how we can awaken within the depths of our souls one who is both magic and medicine.
