• "The wild woman archetype is the instinctual nature of women; it is the wise woman, the healer, the keeper of the mysteries."

Author: Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Clarissa Pinkola Estés is an American poet, psychoanalyst, and post-trauma specialist, deeply influenced by her roots in nearly vanished oral and ethnic traditions. Raised as a first-generation American in a small rural village near the Great Lakes, she draws on her Mexican mestiza and predominantly Magyar heritage, along with minority Swabian influences. Coming from immigrant and refugee families with limited literacy, her work reflects the rich tapestry of her ancestors—farmers, shepherds, artisans, and craftsmen—whose stories and skills are woven into the fabric of her writing.
