Summary

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.

Only the 1st 2 chapters included but worth it

So worth it -though I was disappointed that only the first two chapters were included. I’m going to listen to this a few times as it’s such a worthwhile and thought provoking book

A truly wonderful experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, the stories are perfect and the narration is really descriptive. A truly wonderful book, to chill out with. I could listen to it all day.

Primal

I think I’m last to the party with this incredible book. As I recommended it to close friends they all said they have had a copy for 20yrs! Better late than never - I loved it! Her voice is superb and I shall listen again.

The time has to be right

I first read this a few years ago and it made no sense to me as I was simply not ready for this wisdom.

Just finished it and loved every minute :-)
I can see how various aspects of the book relate to my life and how stuck I’ve been in the past
Awesome wisdom

Incredible

I was recommended this by a therapist and it put into words so many feelings I was able to coherently put into words. If you as a woman have some feelings of unease or unrest in you, this will be life changing

Moving and motivating exploration of womanhood

Beautifully presented journey into a fuller understanding of what womanhood is. Leaving the listening with plenty to consider.
