    About this ebook

    Get the Summary of Clarissa Pinkola Estés's Women Who Run With the Wolves in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine.

    Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.

      Summary of Clarissa Pinkola Estés's Women Who Run With the Wolves - IRB Media

      Insights from Introduction

      #1

      A Wildish Woman bears similarities to wild animals, as they share the same spirit and laborious efforts, with their keen sensing, deep intuition, and devotion.

      #2

      After studying different animals, Estés started understanding the feminine instinctual psyche in a deeper way.

      #3

      Traditional psychological theory is the reason Estés has been working on the Wild Woman archetype for over two decades, as it never sheds light on deeper issues that women go through.

      #4

      Women’s natural psychic forms are encouraged through fairy tales, myths, and stories that reassure them of their self-knowledge.

      #5

      Hints of the wild Self can be reached through beautiful sights, exciting music, inspiring stories, fleeting tastes, or even pregnancy.

      #6

      In modern times, the word wild often is used to mean out of control, but originally, it meant to live a natural life with healthy boundaries.

      #7

      A Wild Woman relies on her gut, not her head.

      #8

      The stories Estés cites are ones that convey the payoff from adopting the Wild Woman archetype.

      Insights from Chapter 1

      #1

      Listen to stories with your soul, not your ears.

      #2

      The tale of La Loba, the Wolf Woman, is about an old woman who is hairy,
