Description

The runaway bride archetype emerges from a review of literature and film portrayals of women and horses. Her male counterpart is the wounded healer/horse whisperer. The rise in woman-initiated divorce, the walkaway wife archetype, and the increase in women-headed households suggest a failure of marriage to support women's autonomy and authenticity.
