WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES by Clarissa Pinkola Estés – Awakening the Wild Woman Within

A modern classic of feminine wisdom, Women Who Run With the Wolves is more than just a book—it’s a transformative journey into the soul of the feminine spirit. Written by psychoanalyst and storyteller Clarissa Pinkola Estés, this deeply insightful work explores the archetype of the wild woman—the untamed, intuitive, and instinctual force that lives within every woman.

Drawing on timeless myths, fairy tales, and stories from around the world, Estés weaves psychological insight with poetic storytelling to guide readers back to their truest nature. Through these narratives, she shows how the wild woman has been suppressed by patriarchal systems and how reclaiming her leads to creativity, passion, strength, and wholeness.

Why readers love this book:

• Inspires self-discovery, healing, and inner empowerment

• Combines Jungian psychology with folk wisdom and mythology

• Helps women reconnect with their intuition and authentic voice

• Offers timeless guidance for navigating love, loss, creativity, and transformation

Hailed as “an oracle” by Alice Walker, Women Who Run With the Wolves is a must-read for every woman seeking to reclaim her power, voice, and connection to the wild sacred within.
