‘Everyone who can read should read this book’ Maya Angelou, activist and award-wining author of I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings

Within every woman, there lies a powerful force of energy, creativity and self-knowing: their wild woman.

But for centuries, she has been repressed by a male-orientated value system that trivialises her emotions. Until now.

In her groundbreaking and inspirational book, Women Who Run With The Wolves, award-winning poet and psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes helps us to reclaim our 'wild woman' - the wise and ageless presence in the female psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power.

With a combination of time-honoured stories, myths, fairy tales, and casework, Estes will set you on a beautiful path to unleash your inner wild, helping you to unlock:

  • Emotional resilience and inner knowing

  • Creativity and self-expression

  • Purpose, passion and authentic confidence

  • A healthier, more empowered relationship with yourself and others


Profound, empowering, and thoughtfully written, Women Who Run With The Wolves is the essential guidebook to help you discover self-confidence and purpose in your life and reclaim your inner wild.
