The Feminine In Fairy Tales by Marie-Louise von Franz

A Jungian reading of fairy tales that treats their figures and motifs as expressions of the feminine principle and the collective unconscious, examining archetypal roles—maiden, mother, crone, witch, anima—and how they reflect psychological development, shadow integration, and the process of individuation; the work argues that fairy-tale imagery maps women’s inner life and offers symbolic guidance for personal transformation, creativity, and healing social and psychic imbalances.
