The 7 Feminine archetypes, which one are you?
(Higher Perspective | Daniel Mitchell) It’s generally advised to not place people into boxes when you meet them. After all, we all contain deeply complex personalities, parts of ourselves we never show others, how could we properly judge another person without knowing their entirety?
However, the assignment of archetypes or otherwise to one’s own self can be a unique, helpful way to find personal identity, especially when we feel lost within society. Understanding common archetypes can deepen our understanding of ourselves and how we’re meant to move through the world.
The Feminine archetypes
The creation of an archetype is born from ages of social observation. We watch how people behave in different ways and then group those ways into archetypes that help us better understand the actions, personalities, and perspectives of others. There are thousands of different archetypes for different groups, but some of the most prominent ones are the famous feminine archetypes.
These archetypes, deeply rooted in cultural and psychological theories, reflect the diverse capabilities and potentials within every woman. They allow for a more nuanced perception of female empowerment and the roles women play in different spheres of life. If you’re looking to deepen your understanding of personal feminine identity, or if you’re a woman looking for a place she fits, here are some of the most well-known feminine archetypes.
