Actually - and I think I've got this right - Anima is the feminine aspect of males and Animus is the masculine aspect of females.

Shameless plug: there was a GREAT comic book back in the early/mid-Nineties that dealt with this called ANIMA. Dig around the back issue bins at your local comic shop for it. Cheap and a hell of a good read.
