Summary
Clarissa Pinkola Estes: Women Who Run with the Wolves
In every woman, regardless of age, culture or education, there is a powerful intuitive force, filled with passion, creativity and timeless knowledge of life. C. P. Estes, a well-known scientist and Jungian psychoanalyst, in this extraordinary book, which has remained on the NYT bestseller list for two years, presents her, the Wild Woman, who constitutes the very essence of a woman's instinctive nature. It is still fighting for survival today because society, with its efforts to "civilize" us and mold us into different rigid roles, alienates us from it and blurs the deep, life-giving messages from our souls. In this powerful, passionate book, the author takes us back to old, intercultural, archetypal stories like the one about Bluebeard, Vasilisa the Wise, Goldilocks, the Girl with the Matches, or the beautiful African story of Manawee - so that through them we can penetrate our own healing Wild Feminine, immensely wise and rich, and so that we can overcome all the chapters that life puts us in front of: entering the world of women, unity with For a male, loneliness and searching, a sense of apostasy, friendship with one's own body, survival, anger and forgiveness, sexuality, harmony with one's inner being, nurturing a creative life...
