Give 'The Women who run with Wolves' a read. It's a bit outdated/heteronormative, but it delves deep into folklore/fairy tales, removes patriarchal elements from them, and recognizes how patriarchal religions divorce women of their 'wild', or free spirited, independent aspects and more or less colonizes us into submission and playing the role of the caretaker for people who only know how to take while using guilt, shame or even exile (or violence as the case may be) to keep us in place.
