Publisher's Synopsis
Dr. Clarissa Pinkola EstÚsÆ international bestseller Women Who Run With the Wolves empowered millions with its ôsaga of the gifted soulö. But that was only the beginning. Three decades in the making, The Dangerous Old Woman presents part one of Dr. EstÚsÆ masterwork in a six-session audio programme filled with her signature stories, myths, and poetryùmany told for the first time. Listeners will meet the Dangerous Old Woman from across world history and cultures, including La Anciana, the Ancient One; the Midwife Exemplar; La Tejadora, the Weaver of Fate; The Juggler Women; and many others. Dr. EstÚs on her inspiration for this landmark recording: ôThough I myself find perils and challenges of age to be true, we must disavow the old prejudices about women and age. The true vision of the wise woman is one of bounty of love and age and wisdom. As she gathers years, like an ancient tree, she grows even more arms, even more flowers and fruits. She is more rooted, more vast, more shelteringùdeveloping her callings to be throughout life: maiden mother, medium, crone, elder, healer, teacher, artist, knowing woman.ö
