Female Archetypes

So I googled feminine archetypes, and I found this archetype-based tool called The Enneagram Theory of Personality.
It "organizes personal types around spiritual, cognitive and emotional behaviors and tendencies".

One = The Perfectionist

Two = The Caregiver

Three = The Performer

Four = The Tragic Romantic

Five = The Observer

Six = The Devil’s Advocate

Seven = The Epicure

Eight = The Boss, and

Nine = The Mediator.


The female mythic types are:

Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt and Moon—Competitor and Sister

Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Crafts—Strategist and Father’s Daughter

Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth and Temple—Wise Woman and Maiden Aunt

Hera, Goddess of Marriage—Commitment Maker and Wife

Demeter, Goddess of Grain—Nurturer and Mother

Persephone, The Maiden and Queen of the Underworld—Receptive Woman and

Mother’s Daughter

Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty—Creative Woman and Lover.


The set of female archetypes include:

The Boss

The Spunky Kid

The Crusader

The Waif

The Librarian

The Nurturer

The Seductress

The Free Spirit
