Shows how feminine wildness is both a positive and a necessary quality for women to carry and cultivate. Clarissa Estes argues that woman's genuine nature has been repressed for centuries by a value system that trivialises emotional truth, intuitive wisdom and instinctual self-confidence. A Jungian analyst and storyteller of many years standing, Dr Estes draws on a huge range of myths and stories to teach us how we can reclaim, and rejoice in, our true feminine power. By relating the messages of time-honoured stories such as 'Bluebeard', 'The Red Shoes' and 'The Woman with Hair of Gold' to our contemporary lives, she shows us how we can awaken within the depths of our souls one who is both magic and medicine.
