Hurry! Only 0 Left in Stock!
According to psychologist Clarissa Pinkola Estés, healthy wolves and healthy women share certain common psychological characteristics: a sharp sense of feeling, a playful spirit, and deep devotion. Wolves and women are kindred by nature, curious, endowed with endurance and strength. By studying wolves, Dr. Estés first crystallized the concept of the Wild Woman archetype. In the book that became a worldwide bestseller and a sensation in The New York Times, Estés reveals this archetype, decodes ancient legends and well-known children's tales, and explains it with examples from her psychoanalytic practice.
"Women Who Run with the Wolves" began as notes in 1970, and by 1971, Estes started working on the text. The author completed the book, "a work on the love and resurrection of women in our world," over twenty years; during this time, she was refused publication 42 times, until the book was finally published by Ballantine/Random House in 1992. In 1995, an updated edition was released with an appendix and a new wolf tale.
