Description: The author's premise is that within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. Here, the author unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through these stories and commentaries, the author explores that inner female psyche, viewing it in turn as live-giving, magical and medicinal.
