Reviews
" Women Who Run with the Wolves isn't just another book. It is a gift of profound insight, wisdom, and love. An oracle from one who knows." --Alice Walker "I am grateful to Women Who Run with the Wolves and to Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés. The work shows the reader how glorious it is to be daring, to be caring, and to be women. Everyone who can read should read this book." --Maya Angelou "An inspiring book, the 'vitamins for the soul' [for] women who are cut off from their intuitive nature." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Stands out from the pack . . . a joy and sparkle in [the] prose . . . This book will become a bible for women interested in doing deep work. . . . It is a road map of all the pitfalls, those familiar and those horrifically unexpected, that a woman encounters on the way back to her instinctual self. Wolves . . . is a gift." -- Los Angeles Times "A mesmerizing voice . . . dramatic storytelling she learned at the knees of her [immigrant] aunts." -- Newsweek "The work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, rooted in old and deep family rites and in archetypal psychology, recognizes that the soul is not lost, but has been put to sleep. This volume reminds us that we are nature for all our sophistication, that we are still wild, and the recovery of that vitality will itself set us right in the world." --Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul
Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * More than 2.7 million copies sold! * "A deeply spiritual book [that] honors what is tough, smart and untamed in women."-- The Washington Post Book World Book club pick for Emma Watson's Our Shared Shelf Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society's attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. In Women Who Run with the Wolves , Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - More than 2.7 million copies sold! - "A deeply spiritual book [that] honors what is tough, smart and untamed in women."-- The Washington Post Book World Book club pick for Emma Watson's Our Shared Shelf Within every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.

    Fantastic book, in great condition, the quality of the photos are perfect. Appearance of the book is mint condition. Great value for the price. Excellent shipping and packaging. My book arrived quickly. I sailed on the NORWAY in the early 90s twice and then in 2002. She was an excellent ship and if she were around today, I'd pick her over the behemoths out there now. She was classy. Seller did a fantastic job. Five Stars***********. A++++++++++ for great service. Hope to buy from you again.

    Still reading this...but...

    ...this is a great addition to any library! Wonderful, rich stories woven by a true storyteller re: female archetypes. This is a book that creates true contemplation re: what the storyteller said, what symbolism is there, how does this apply in our culture and/or our lives directly. Every once in a while, the author suggests something that doesn't entirely resonate with me (so, I just let that part go), but overall quite pleased this was recommended to me!

    The book itself is too rambling

    The book created a good spirit and overall content to reader; however I feel no interesting of reading the cycling to nowhere. This book should be more suitable for particular type of reader.

  • Required reading!

    I wish I had read this 20 years ago. This book is able to give clarity to so many disturbing issues in a woman's life. It's instructional and entertaining. Read it.

  • Womens who run with wolves:Myths and stories of the wild women of archetype

    Very good. At first I didn't think I was going to like it. But after going to a book club and discussing it w other women and sharing our personal experiences and how they related to the book, I loved it!! There were some very emotional discussing we all had and important stories to be shared share. An excellent book club book.
