Anima

According to Carl Jung, the anima is the feminine side of a man's personal unconscious. It can be identified as all the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a man possesses.

Jung also believed that every woman has an analogous animus within her psyche, this being a set of unconscious masculine attributes and potentials.
