Žene koje trče s vukovima
Through myths, fairy tales, and archetypes, psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estés invites women to connect with the Wild Woman—their repressed, instinctive, creative, and healing nature.
The cult work Women Who Run with the Wolves by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, a Jungian psychoanalyst and traditional storyteller (cantadora), explores the deep female psyche through the prism of myths, folk tales, and fairy tales from different cultures around the world. The author compares the nature of modern women to that of wolves: both possess a keen instinct, a passionate spirit, great endurance, and deep loyalty, but through centuries of excessive adaptation to social norms, they have been restrained, tamed, and alienated from their true nature. Analyzing well-known and lesser-known tales — such as those of Bluebeard, the Ugly Duckling, Vasilisa the Wise, and La Loba — Estés deconstructs the hidden symbols and psychological messages within them. Each story serves as a guide to recognizing danger, healing emotional wounds, and reawakening the "Wild Woman" (the wild archetype). The book offers powerful tools for recognizing intuition, setting healthy boundaries, regaining creativity, and breaking free from destructive patterns. Women Who Run with the Wolves is not only a psychological study, but also a spiritual manual that redefines female strength, vitality and Wisdom.
