Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and stories of the wild woman archetype Paperback Septemby Ph.D. Estes has created a lexicon for describing the female psyche. Clarissa Pinkola Estés (born January 27, 1945) is an American writer and Jungian psychoanalyst.

Estes collects the bones of many stories, looking for the archetypal motifs that set a woman's inner life into motion. Estes uses multicultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories chosen from over twenty years of research that help women reconnect with the healthy, instinctual, visionary attributes of the Wild Woman archetype. Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., Jungian analyst and cantadora storyteller, shows how woman's vitality can be restored through what she calls 'psychic archeological digs' into the ruins of the female unconscious. Without Wild Woman, we become over-domesticated, fearful, uncreative, trapped. Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype is a book that mixes fairy tales and psychoanalysis. Though the gifts of wildish nature come to us at birth, society's attempt to 'civilize' us into rigid roles has plundered this treasure, and muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. Her name is Wild Woman, but she is an endangered species. Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.
