The wild woman is the wise and ageless presence in the feminine psyche that gives women their creativity, energy and power. Arguing that, for centuries, the wild woman has been repressed by a value system which trivializes emotional truth, intuitive wisdom and instinctual self-confidence.
A Jungian analyst, the author uses a combination of time-honoured myths and stories and contemporary casework to explain that the wild woman in all women is innately healthy, passionate and wise.
