Synopsis

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.

3.0 - 3.5 stars I have been wanting to get into audiobooks and read more nonfiction books. I found this 2-hour audio on the Libby app and figured it would be perfect. After reading other reviews, it seems like this is part of the full book. I think this was originally published around 1995, and it's......more

Goodreads review by Jennifer on July 25, 2025

Let me just say, this book is not for the faint of heart—or for anyone looking for a light bedtime read. Clarissa Pinkola Estés is a powerhouse of myth, story, and psychology, and she weaves it all together like an ancient grandmother who also happens to be a trained psychoanalyst (which, well, she......more

Goodreads review by Emily on August 18, 2025

I didn’t always feel fully engaged, and it didn’t connect with me in the way I usually find this type of content does. This, as an audiobook, felt more like an extended talk or lecture. That said, there were still moments that offered genuine insight and a sense of empowerment. In the end, I didn’t......more
