Femmes qui courent avec les loups de Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Women Who Run With the Wolves, published in 2001, is dedicated to the wild nature that resides within every woman. Twenty years of research were required to create this work, through which Clarissa Pinkola Estés takes her readers on a journey through ancestral myths and traditions, aiming to reconnect women with their instincts and their original essence. The Wild Woman lives within each of us.
This work has become a touchstone for asserting oneself beyond the reductive and predefined roles that have hindered the powerful force of femininity since time immemorial. The stories told by Clarissa resonate deeply and help readers identify with her characters, empowering them to become women in control of their own destiny, trusting their desires rather than the dictates of society.
For us, this book beautifully captures the fundamental qualities of the Wild Woman, MAEVY. A woman who has the courage to remain true to herself in all circumstances , regardless of who she's talking to. A woman who loves herself and knows what she wants without needing to conform to societal norms. The Wild Woman is also a woman who isn't afraid to fail and who rises stronger after every setback. But she is also a woman in harmony with her environment, possessing boundless creativity. She creates, explores, and discovers. Through her adventures, she forges powerful connections.
Clarissa Pinkola Estés has combined the power of stories and legends with that of psychology. In her work, she delves deeply into myths and guides readers toward the values of the Wild Woman, a strong woman who lives with joy and courage. This book provides a solid foundation for any woman desiring authentic and natural personal growth, aligned with the principles of the Wild Woman, at the heart of MAEVY's identity.
“Being strong doesn’t mean exercising your muscles. Being strong means finding the light deep within ourselves, actively living with wild nature in a personal way. It means being able to learn, to nurture what we know. To care for ourselves and to live.”
