Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D. is a mythopoetic women's movement figure. She maintains a friendly correspondence with Robert Bly. Her book Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype (ISBN 0345377443) is to be considered a women's equivalent of Robert Bly's Iron John: A Book About Men (1990 ISBN 0201517205). Her book Women Who Run With the Wolves was praised by the same Gloria Steinem who condemned Robert Bly.

Quotes

"The craft of questions, the craft of stories, the craft of the hands - all these are the making of something, and that something is soul. Anytime we feed soul, it guarantees increase." Women Who Run With the Wolves (p.14)
