Title : Women Who Run with the Wolves - Stories and Myths of the Wild Woman Archetype - Pinkola Estes Clarissa - book
Summary :
Every woman carries within her a natural, instinctive strength, rich in creative gifts and immemorial knowledge. But society and culture have too often muzzled this "Wild Woman" in order to force her into the reductive mold of assigned roles. Psychoanalyst and storyteller, fascinated by myths and legends, also author of The Gardener of Eden, Clarissa Pinkola Estés invites us to rediscover this buried part, full of vitality and generosity, vibrant, giving life. Through "psycho-archaeological excavations" of the ruins of the feminine unconscious, drawing on the most diverse traditions and representations, from the Virgin Mary to Venus, from Bluebeard to the little match girl, she opens the way and demonstrates that it is up to each of us to find the Wild Woman within ourselves.
A bestseller in the United States, this exceptional book is destined to be a landmark in the contemporary evolution of female identity.
