"This volume reminds us that we are nature for all our sophistication, that we are still wild, and the recovery of that vitality will itself set us right in the world. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, and stories, many from her own family, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple
