==Life==
Cary Fink was born on September 26, 1883, in [Mexico City](/source/Mexico_City). She and her sister were brought up in their mother's home in [Louisville, Kentucky](/source/Louisville%2C_Kentucky). She studied at [Vassar College](/source/Vassar_College), where she was taught by [Kristine Mann](/source/Kristine_Mann), and graduated in 1906.<ref name=Wellcome/> She went on to study medicine at [Johns Hopkins University](/source/Johns_Hopkins_University), marrying her fellow medical student, the future anthropologist [Jaime de Angulo](/source/Jaime_de_Angulo), in 1910. She graduated in 1911, and the pair settled in [Carmel, California](/source/Carmel%2C_California), in 1913. In 1918 they had a daughter, Ximena. Cary objected to Jaime's plans to home-school Ximena as eccentric and autocratic.<ref name="Schelling2017">{{cite book|author=Andrew Schelling|title=Tracks Along the Left Coast: Jaime de Angulo & Pacific Coast Culture|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_e7iDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT163|year=2017|publisher=Counterpoint|isbn=978-1-61902-988-0|pages=163, 386}}</ref> Since 1915 Jaime had also divided his attention between Cary and [Lucy "Nancy" Freeland](/source/Lucy_Shepard_Freeland), spending summer 1920 living with Nancy.<ref name="Handler2004">{{cite book|author=Robert Brightman|editor=Richard Handler|title=Significant Others: Interpersonal and Professional Commitments in Anthropology|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=h0tbEeTAEloC&pg=PA159|year=2004|publisher=Univ of Wisconsin Press|isbn=978-0-299-19473-4|pages=159–|chapter=Jaime De Angulo and Alfred Kroeber: Bohemians and Bourgeois in Berkeley Anthropology}}</ref> In 1921, at Kristine Mann's suggestion, Cary De Angulo moved to [Zürich](/source/Z%C3%BCrich) to study with [Carl Jung](/source/Carl_Jung), taking Ximena with her,<ref name="Schelling2017"/> and living in a house on [Lake Zurich](/source/Lake_Zurich) with her sister Henri Zinno.

Though she never practiced analysis herself, Fink became a respected friend and collaborator with Jung. In 1924–25 she worked on a fresh transcription of Jung's manuscript ''[Liber Novus](/source/Liber_Novus)''. Though she did not finish the transcription, she had ongoing discussions with Jung about its potential publication. She also transcribed and edited his 1925 seminar.<ref name="Jung2012">{{cite book|author=C. G. Jung|title=Liber Novus|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mdVAAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA64|year=2012|publisher=W.

They married in 1927, setting up home in [Hemel Hempstead](/source/Hemel_Hempstead) in [England](/source/England), though they moved to [California](/source/California) in 1928.<ref name="Jansen2003">{{cite book|author=Diana Baynes Jansen|title=Jung's Apprentice: A Biography of Helton Godwin Baynes|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ew0pYfC7pW8C&pg=PA196|year=2003|publisher=Daimon|isbn=978-3-85630-626-7|pages=196–}}</ref> The pair collaborated on translating Jung into English, and in 1929 Cary also undertook the translation of [Richard Wilhelm](/source/Richard_Wilhelm_(sinologist))'s translation of the ''[I Ching](/source/I_Ching)''.

In 1931 Cary Baynes divorced Peter, who had fallen in love with another woman in 1930.<ref name="Jansen2003"/> Through the 1930s she continued her translation of the ''I Ching'', and worked with [Olga Fröbe-Kapteyn](/source/Olga_Fr%C3%B6be-Kapteyn) on her 'Eranos Project'.<ref name=Wellcome/> In 1938 she met [Paul](/source/Paul_Mellon) and [Mary Mellon](/source/Mary_Mellon), founders of the [Bollingen Foundation](/source/Bollingen_Foundation), introducing them to Olga Fröbe. The ''I Ching'' was eventually published in the Bollingen Series.<ref name="McGuire1989">{{cite book|author=William McGuire|title=Bollingen: An Adventure in Collecting the Past|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QwiOjrjB48oC&pg=PA54|year=1989|publisher=Princeton University Press|isbn=0-691-01885-5|pages=54–}}</ref>

In the 1950s Baynes, prompted by Olga Fröbe and Jung, began collaboration with Lucy Heyer on a biography of Jung. She considered basing her biography on ''Liber Novus'', but to Jung's disappointment withdrew from the project.<ref name="Jung2012"/>
