Women Who Run With the Wolves

A cult classic about the archetype of the Wild Woman, which the author explores through myths, legends, fairy tales, and her own psychoanalytic practice. Drawing on the image of the she-wolf, Estes examines the instinctive female nature — strength, intuition, endurance, loyalty, and inner freedom — that has been suppressed for centuries by fear, stereotypes, and social prohibitions. In each chapter, she interprets well-known stories, helping readers discover in them clues for returning to their truest selves. It is a profound, inspiring, and at times therapeutic journey into the female soul, one that teaches women to hear their own voice, trust their nature, and reclaim their inner wholeness.
