I recommend this article posted by Red Tent Living to the curious reader. It discusses the Wild Woman archetype.
I believe the evangelical culture many of us grew up in locked the door and painted over it with flowers and elegant script, admonishing us to tend instead to our growth as “godly women”: sweet, accommodating, responsible, beautiful, and oriented to the approval and enjoyment of men. The image of the ideal woman held up in many circles today is a far cry from our wild woman origins.
