About this listen

First published three years before the print edition of Women Who Run With the Wolves made publishing history, this original audio edition quickly became an underground bestseller. For its insights into the inner life of women, it established Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés as one of the most important voices of our time in the fields of Jungian psychology, myth, and women's mysteries.

Drawing from her work as a psychoanalyst and cantadora ("keeper of the old stories"), Dr. Estés uses myths and folktales to illustrate how societies systematically strip away the feminine spirit. Through an exploration into the nature of the wild woman archetype, Dr. Estés helps listeners rediscover and free their own wild nature.

The magical storytelling, myths, and commentary on Women Who Run With the Wolves continue to inspire a new level of self-knowledge among listeners young and old.

Listening to this book was as grounding as guided meditation. I found it profoundly nurturing and encouraging. Clarissa does not sound like she's reading off the page, but rather tells her stories as one would by a crackling fire in the forest. It's all too bewitching.

This was too short!

I highly recommend this book even though it is not the full version. If there is a chance of narrating the full book, I would like to put the request in to Audible!

Wonderful but far too short!

A beautiful book. Instructive, entertaining, challenging yet comforting. Dr PE is a masterful storyteller, accomplished scholar and a fountain of feminine wisdom.

Fantastic book. Everyone should read this.
