when looking online, I found this description of the female archetype:
An archetype is a model of behaviour or pattern of energy that is easily recognisable and resonant to human beings. We can identify with and relate to archetypes as they are primary characters or personalities of the human condition.
Archetypes are everywhere. They are played out in fairy tales, movies, books, T.V. shows,, in our families, work environments, and amongst our friends.
Snow White (Princess) is an archetype. Homer Simson (Fool) is an archetype...so is Mother, Father, Son, and daughter. We instantly recognise what these roles are and how they are supposed to behave.
So the feminine archetype refers to models or patterns of womanhood and feminine behavior that are easily recognisable to us.
So, after reading this article I believe that all females are archetypes in some shape or form. There is no true original archetype because each female is a "retelling" of previous females.
