Marion Woodman, a psychologist, author and prominent feminist from London, Ont., has died at the age of 89.

Woodman spent much of her life and career studying the work of Carl Jung and exploring the connections between body, soul and the unconscious mind.

Woodman was the author of many acclaimed books, including Addiction to Perfection, The Pregnant Virgin and Bone: Dying into Life.

Born in London on Aug. 15, 1928, Woodman studied at the University of Western Ontario, and taught English, poetry and drama for more than 20 years at South Collegiate Institute.

After training at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Woodman opened a practice in Toronto and turned to writing, covering topics such as feminism, addiction and the relationship between body and mind.

She taught and lectured to audiences worldwide. With Ann Skinner and Mary Hamilton she developed her BodySoul workshops, which they taught internationally.
