Clarissa Pinkola Estés's Women Who Run With the Wolves, explores the concept of the Wild Woman archetype as the essential, instinctual core of the feminine psyche. The author draws parallels between the persecution of wolves and women, arguing that societal misunderstanding leads to the suppression of this "wildish nature," which is necessary for women’s psychological health and creativity. The text emphasizes that reasserting a relationship with this intuitive self grants women profound inner guidance, often explaining psychological struggles as the result of losing touch with this core source. Through the analysis of traditional fairy tales and myths—such as Bluebeard, Vasalisa, Sealskin, and Skeleton Woman—the author illustrates the necessary cycles of Life/Death/Life, the challenges posed by the internal "predator" or negative complexes, and the work required to reclaim one's innate power, gifts, and instinctual wisdom.
